Games Workshop - Warhammer Age of Sigmar - Gloomspite Gitz: Dankhold Troggoth

Product Information

Discussions of lists which don't have Dankhold Troggbosses as generals or all the Troggoth battleline are fine. As long as the list itself is trogg focused. Troggoths are not complex creatures, they care not for deep aspirations. They sleep in their caves and if it were up to them they’d like to keep it that way. Glogg, a particularly cunning Troggoth (by which I mean only somewhat stupid instead of very) who has, despite all odds managed to form his own Trogherd and keep it going. Most Trogherds tend to burn out after a time, once their hunger has been satiated and they return to sleep. Glogg has, somehow, kept it going though no one is sure how. Guided by the Badmoon, this particularly dangerous Trogherd travels across the Mortal Realms, seeking new strains of fungi to eat. The Troggherds played a vital part of Skragrott the Loonking's conquest of Skrappa Spill. [2b] Organisation

While the Troggoth is no slouch in combat, it isn’t the fastest creature around. Kunnin’ bosses will want to take advantage of the Supa Sneaky command trait. Dust-Gargant • Ghurish Gargant • Mason-Gargant • Mega-Gargant • Mere-Gargant • Moss Gargant • Sky-Titan • Storm Gargant • Ulguan Gargant Their fantastic damage potential makes both units excellent additions to a Kruleboyz army, so let’s take a look at their warscrolls for all the juicy details. Breaka-boss on Mirebrute Troggoth The Kruleboyz are well known for using their menageries of beasts in battle, like the Sludgeraker and Marshcrawla Sloggoth . They’re also experts at killing giant Monsters, and the Beast-skewer Killbow is their most effective ranged weapon. For those of you with a spiderfang general, Spider Riders can be battleline and certainly exist. A bit more exciting is the Arachnarok Spider with Spiderfang Warparty , giving the faction its sole ability to monster mash if you’re that way inclined. No longer relegated to being the worst big spider but it’s battleline I guess, the warparty now counts as 10 models for contesting objectives which is really good! BehemothWhat the bad moon does is provide a benefit to any unit under its light, which means wholly within the large quarter that the moon is occupying, or the entire board if it’s in the centre. Four, including the now ubiquitous ‘have ever battle tactic you complete be from your faction list’. Protect da Shrine! Could potentially see some use, requiring you to have no enemy models within 12” of the Loonshrine at the end of the game, and for it to have not been smashed to rubble. Superior Spell-flinger has a Tzeentchy flair and asks you to have two of the Gitz endless spells on the battlefield when the game ends. You don’t have as much control of that as you might like, but the Scuttletide at least can be quite difficult to dispel.

Unlike those command traits these are not available to Unique, so Trugg can’t take any. Trogbosses however will benefit greatly! Unfortunately because of the high wounds on all your Troggbosses you won’t be able to take more than 1 artefact without access to the Warlord battalion so choose carefully and play to its strengths. There are smaller details that also help to excel Trugg’s model above the rest. He seems to have carvings onto his flesh that resemble cave paintings, hinting that he’s been (deeply) asleep for a (very) long time. The moss and draped foliage and filth hanging off of him embed the Troggoth tropes of spending long periods in the deepest dank, sleeping until feeling the need to eat. Utlimately, Trugg’s model is to be a fine centrepiece for any Troggoth aficionado and will surely lord his regal presence to any and all who lay eyes upon him. Rules Befitting a Ruler

Aelementor ( Cloud-Spirit • Spirit of the Mountain • Spirit of the Wind) • Flamegheist • Living Land • Shadow Daemon • Spite We may be in the dead of winter here in the mitten state, (-26 wind chill as of this writing) but I don’t think the Gloomspite Gitz care too much about that. They are the new hotness that GW has released, and the models are certainly stunning!
