One More Troll for Good Luck

Trolls are one of the best units in the night goblin army. With 4 wounds, 5+ save, projectile vomiting, and abilities like regenerate and "Too dumb to die" they are definitely a crowd favorite. I have three already but I found this extra and just had to paint him.

Battle Report: A Chaos Victory

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Chaos showed up to fight. We had never used points before, so we decided to use www.scrollbuilder.com.  Using the Pool method, we took 11 points each. I felt totally out-matched, but the game was close. The good part was that after the game I read the stats again to see if I could find an edge; there were a few abilities I missed.

Here is how the game unfolded:

Warhounds began moving to attack my right flank

Skullcrushers began moving to attack my left flank

A giant, backed by chaos warriors, began a frontal assault

I quickly moved to isolate the giant and kill him with 5 squig hoppers and two trolls. It worked.

Chaos brought both flanks into the centre to kill my hoppers and trolls, as seen in the next three photos.

One troll retreated and ran back to the Night Goblin line.

The skullcrushers with support by marauders and Wulfrik the Wanderer charged Skarsnick and Gobbla. The night goblins rushed into help Skarsnick and Gobbla but the Warlord of the Eight Peaks was slain anyway.

Night goblins made a valiant effort to keep fighting but they died in droves before finally conceding.

Giant Gets Puked On by Trolls

My buddy, Mike, came over with his new Chaos giant beautifully painted. He spent the day getting it ready for our game that evening. His whole army looks great, but as everyone knows, the giant is the main center piece. The game begun and Mike moved his army into position for a charge. I held my ground. On his 2nd turn the giant charged my horde of Night Goblins. He never made it to the Night Goblins and I'll never forget what happened next. The giant stumbled (Mike rolled doubles) and it fell on his own men. Then, I charged my three trolls from the flank and they vomited on the giant. They then proceeded to lay a smack-down on him. When he got up they had a slug fest but he was no match of them in his nauseated state. He died at the hands of the trolls. The whole scene was hilarious and I imagine my Night Goblins jumping and shouting with glee as it happened.

Somehow it is always funnier when it happens to Mike, too. Needless to say the Night Goblins took the battle. #AgeofSigmar, #AoS.
