So on the 14th of November my FLGS is having the last Mk1 Tournament of the year. I thought about it and decided I want to go for it. Now this week, on Friday, I will be putting in an order to get the rest of the stuff I need to go to 750 with my Grim List. If you don’t remember, here is my original 750:
Faction: Trollblood
Points: 740
Model Count: 23
Victory Points: 26
Grim Angus
Troll Impaler
Troll Impaler
Dire Troll Mauler
Brun Cragback
> Lug
Fell Caller
Horthol, Long Rider Champion
Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes [6] (2 added)
> Stone Scribe Elder [1]
Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew [2]
Trollkin Champions [5]
The bolded items being the ones I will be getting. However, after thinking a bit during the week I came up with what I thought was a more solid 750 list with Grim. This however would be more expensive:
Faction: Trollblood
Points: 744
Model Count: 24
Victory Points: 27
Grim Angus
Troll Impaler
Dire Troll Mauler
Brun Cragback
> Lug
Fell Caller
Horthol, Long Rider Champion
Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes [5] (1 added)
> Stone Scribe Elder [1]
Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew [2]
Trollkin Champions [5]
Trollkin Long Riders [3] (0 added)
The major difference here is the addition of the Long Riders and the removal of the Impaler. I am not sure which to go with, as I can go with either by the 14th. Thoughts?
The big question here is whether or not 1 light and 1 heavy can give Grim the Fury he needs sufficiently. If they can (I don’t know how he plays), I say go with the Cav. They’re fast and will give you extra option for speed and hit and runs. It all depends on how Grim manages Fury.
So far I havent had an issue with fury with 2 Lights and a heavy at 500. In fact, I usually end up a little hot.
Thats why I am thinking running him with just 1 light and a heavy could work. There is a guy at our FLGS who has a Trollblood army who runs Grim with just a single Impaler and he does well apparently.
So it may work out. I can always use the Impaler to cast its Animus on Grim, and then boost the Hit and Damage rolls to make sure I spend that 2 Fury.
