    So Ive gone mad and Im going to a sr2012 test tournie. I have to decide if I play PoM or Trolls. Im thinking doomie+mulg for list 1, then madrak or grissel with no mulg for list 2. Issue is I am missing some units many people rave about

    eDoomy
    Mulg
    Axer
    Mauler
    min Fennblades+ua
    fell caller
    stone scribe
    whelps

    pGrissel
    mauler
    axer
    impaler- will try to swap for pyre(need to find it for 10p however)
    fell caller
    stone scribe
    Champion hero
    full fenn+ua

    I dont not own anything else apart from a skinner and pMadrak + an extra impaler so its hard for me to build anything different. So any feedback re lists?

    or should I play list1 as Trolls and list 2 as a pKreoss holy zealots list (issues here as well- no errants)

    reading 2011 rules Im probably gonna go trolls as 2 lists from 1 faction required
    now if I get a reedemer and efeora then maybe PoM comes back into play- of course some daughters and an unit of errants wouldnt go amiss either…oh plus a reckoner and the book. RE Trolls not sure re reserves, maybe impalers and skinner to get up to points required

    I guess Im after what issues will I have and what cheese can I serve up

    laser printer is gonna be in action for tokens, templates etc

    So the event went well didnt lose a match as such, got timed out for most of them. Did get the odd crushing however.

    1st game- Legion shut down my mauler, got activations in wrong order so basically didnt get massive benifit from Grissel or the Pyre troll. Contested primary objective all game and almost cleared out secondary objective. 1 more turn would be an caster or lock kill. If I survived would have run into thagross with 2 fenns, grissel and pyre to try to win as I would be dead anyway.
    I think kill points was 25 to 10- NB this guy won the tournie with some excellent cheese play. Played fair, happy to get beatings all day long as he was excellent player and friendly to

    2nd game- Cygnar infantry spam
    tied each other down, almost got a caster kill. Fell caller spray missed caster but killed many bodyguards. Mauler got beatings but died before doing any great shakes. Skinner came on a reserve and didnt do much but did tie up a jack for a turn. eDoomy does not really have anything vs jacks. Timed out again lost due to kill points. played new caster who feats for soul tokens making infantry harder and then granting massive focus to caster for beatings which meant mulg failed to destroy horde protecting caster
    30 vs 20 ish kill points I think

    3rd game- Khador
    Fenns rushed to objectives, pathfinder surprise charge locked down infantry over 6″ away from one cp so got 2 turns of control. One more turn and I would have won with 3 cp
    mulg and mauler did massive beatdown but got killed by jacks and massed MoW. Impaler got slammed killing it and the hero he fell on. Fell caller sprayed to clear way to caster but to little to late. Caster wisely retreated out of reach range and I think feated. match won of control points.

    We played on and I lost to caster kill so good job timed out in the end

    4th game- khadhor
    massive beatings all round but failed to kill mechanics, they healed like mad and held me off. so after ages caster kill lost me game

    FEEDBACK I learned-
    slow and no real range
    need to activate units in better order
    fell callers and ua make Fenns awesome
    Legion is broken ;)
    play objective to win but look for caster kills
    cheese moves are fun
    reach and sprays are superb
    sr2012 is looking good

    Played some more games in friendly format
    win 1 by points scored
    win 2 by caster kill- pyre troll and spray attack plus reach beat down for flaming smack down hurt. Also two handed throw was amusing
