I like Buhrdur a lot and he is a hill troll chieftain and I kind of want it to be a hill troll list as a theme and from what I understand Mordor trolls are a lot bigger (base size and in the lore)
thanks for the advice though

I have always wanted to do this but never really got into the playing side of the game, would this list be viable at all? Buhrdur 110 pts cave troll 80pts cave troll 80pts cave troll with spear 81pts cave troll with spear 81pts |

It would of course depend on who they were facing off against. Lords of Battle would be their best scenario. Also there's no real point to paying for the point for a spear, you'll never really use it with a troll because you'd have to sacrifice 2 of your attacks in the combat |

If you're going for pure Trolls, try Mordor, better fight and more heroes for larger games. |

A budget wraith beefed up to 70 points would make a pretty potent 500 point list. That aura would make it harder to charge your trolls. If you just want pure trolls, you might as well spend the extra points on spears and chains...what else is there? |

Dude take out one troll and make a warband with a hero and half trolls like they're little trolllings. Ha. That'd be sweet. |

a pure troll army would not be good vsing rohan, elf's, fiefdom and uruk's with cross bows the amount of damage those army's can do to only a move 6 army is devastating if u only have a few troops with it on the field. i would only go for it if you know your opponent's are going to be taking. |

Its a good theme so it gets my approval Buhrdur is not a bad hero at all, he is importantly a troll with might points! The biggest issue trolls will have are heroes that can heroic strike them to wound them quickly (had a game like this using three hunters against three mordor trolls). Cave trolls are also nice and cheap, compared to other trolls and monster brutal power attacks have indeed made them powerful in game (seriously against my cavalry I almost cry). All monster forces are starting to be seen more often, yours is at least themed. I'd suggest giving it a go and seeing how it does

And he'll have fun in the process, which is what matters and it'll look fab in the board.

If you wanna go for the competetive edge get the dwimmerwaik - he will stop enemies from heroic striking and can lock down an enemy hero giving you grief. I run a very similar list to this one except i go for cheese and use great goblin, burdhur, mordor trolls etc. |
