Not to worry though I have a plan.
Being a die hard Troll player there are a few things learned along the way. First and foremost is, it's easy to hit a Troll. That brings me to believe that a less traditional approach to killing Grissel and her likely infantry swarm list is more warranted. By less traditional I mean by using models that aren't typical in a competitive Trollblood list and while its tempting to bring mountains of Runeshapers. I need a more effective way to mow down as many models as possible in a short time by bringing models that generate multiple attacks per turn. Some of you may see where I'm going here...

My favorite quote on a Troll card so far:
"Crude and imprecise? Son, I'm a surgeon with this scattergun." ~Sergeant Beltun Juln~
35+7 points, 31 models
Hoarluk Doomshaper, Shaman of the Gnarls +7 points
* Dire Troll Bomber 10 points
* Troll Impaler 5 points
6 Kriel Warriors 4 points
* 3 Kriel Caber Thrower 3 points
* Kriel Warrior Standard & Piper 2 points
10 Trollkin Scattergunners 8 points
* Scattergunner Officer & Standard 2 points
3 Trollkin Sluggers 5 points
The idea is of course to mow down as many of his guys as possible and hope he tough rolls less than I do. Moving up to 50 is a tough choice for me. Do I add 12 Fenns to the mix with a Fel Caller? or do I add in another Bomber or Blitzer? For now I think I'll go second Bomber and fill out my list a little with some much needed support. Max out the Sluggers and Max out the Kriel Warriors to look a little something like this.
50+7 points, 37 models
Hoarluk Doomshaper, Shaman of the Gnarls +7 points
* 2x Dire Troll Bomber 10 points each
Janissa Stonetide 3 points
10 Kriel Warriors 6 points
* 3 Kriel Caber Thrower 3 points
* Kriel Warrior Standard & Piper 2 points
10 Trollkin Scattergunners 8 points
* Scattergunner Officer & Standard 2 points
5 Trollkin Sluggers 8 points
