Like A Boss: Solo Spotlight - Raluk Moorclaw, The Ironmonger

Good Monday morning to all of you in Scrum land! Kro here with a brand new Like A Boss column for the week!

Last week we took a look at the Fell Caller Hero, which you can view here. Now over the last few months, I've gotten requests to do some of our Mercenary Solo's. So I figured that I would start with one of our newest addition to the Trollblood family.

The easiest place to start is always at the beginning. So, the reason behind this choice is two fold. 1.) New Solo, New Strategy and 2.) He's still new enough that most players in our faction have NO idea what to do with him.

Moorclaw is the first accessible Trollblood Mercenary Solo with the Jack Marshall ability which is new territory for us as a faction. With this new territory comes a good amount of questions, none of which are easy to answer. For players, the big one is: "Why should I field this model?" secondary to that question is: "What questions will he make my opponent answer?"

Bearing these two questions in mind, I'm going to go into extra depth with this article, and provide additional insight on what to run with Moorclaw. (More on that later)

Like A Boss: Solo Spotlight - Fell Caller Hero

Happy New Year Scrummers, Kro here with a new episode of everyones favorite column!(Okay maybe just mine)

It's been over a month since my last blog post, hopefully most of you can forgive the absence. The month of December is pretty crazy for me game wise but I hope each and every one of you had a happy holiday and an even better start to the new year! It's my hope to keep this column going by getting back into the swing of weekly posts.

Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully I'll be back to the Monday swing of things to start the week off right!

The goal with this ongoing series will be to give an insight on how I rate our varying faction units/solos/warlocks, and hopefully provide some fun and informative topics for discussion and debate.

Why Our Battlebox Makes Us Better Players

My own painted Battlegroup

Hey folks! Kro here, with my first real article on the Scrum!

When I originally picked up Trollbloods as my primary faction, a number of players in my meta warned me right off the bat: "Trolls are awesome, but their Battle box sucks." or "They are one of the few factions that introduce you to Warlock/Warcaster that essentially does nothing (feat wise) for the beasts they come with." The most popular bit of criticism was the fact that our battle box lacked a heavy chassis. All of the concerns were valid and hard to ignore, yet when I made my initial purchase a small whelp in the back of my head was telling me "Relax! There's a reason why the box is set up this way!"

What can I say, I went in deep and never looked back. 60+ battle box games later, and I can safely say that our box is FAR from underpowered. It is competitive, just in ways that set it apart from the other factions.

Tom a.k.a. Kro

Howdy folks! My name is Tom (aka Kro on the PP forums) and I'm a TROLL-a-holic!

I've been stumbling drunk and kilt lifting for the better part of eighteen months after being rescued from my decision to originally play Cygnar. I'm from Fort Worth, Texas, and have been here for over a decade. I got into WarmaHordes after a two year hiatus and cornea transplants on both eyes(talk about an eye opening experience). 

Within the last six months I've started to up my game competitively and thankfully, my meta has no shortage of great opponents to grind my teeth against(read: I lose ALOT!). But hey, every loss is a learning experience and I've got loads to learn!

It's my hope that over the coming months we can have some open discussions on units, strategies, tier lists and yes, even the Mountain King! I'm not your average Trollblood player either, I tend to go "against the grain" on trends and mainstay strategies. In my meta, we see just about everything list and faction wise, so the "thinking outside the box" mentality tends to serve me quite well.

Like what you see here or have a question? Ask away! Always glad to lend my brain to help solving problems or theory-machining lists and strategies!

Till next time, stay tough and remember, "Horthol, apply directly to the forehead."
