Troll Broods in Mordheim

by Bri'n Cog'n

Many races are drawn to Mordheim, all of them seeking Wyrdstone. Most sell it, some

collect it, a scant few use it to gain favor, but one race has an entirely different use for

Wyrdstone. There is one race that actually consumes Wyrdstone as food.... Trolls.

Often seen as part of Orc or Goblin war bands, Trolls have gained a taste for Wyrdstone

that can only be likened to addiction. Trolls are stupid.. extremely so by human

standards, but there does exist a kinship between them that goes beyond the boundaries

of their crude, primitive language. It has been said that all trolls consider other trolls

family of a sort. They occasionally band together in a search for Wyrdstone. The ranks

within the war band (Trolls call it a "Brood") are all denoted by family names. Because

of the kinship the trolls feel, they have a good deal more concentration and self control

when in the company of their Brood.

Having no need for money, Trolls wantonly consume Wyrdstone as soon as they find it.

The warping nature of the stone has been known to affect certain changes in the troll's

bodies and even their tiny minds. The old proverb of "thou art what thine doth consume"

is doubly true of trolls, who tend to radiate Wyrdstone after they have consumed a

sufficient amount. This tends to draw other trolls into the Brood as they have been able

to smell the Wyrdstone as well as the other trolls about.

Troll Broods

Special Rules

The following special rules apply to all members of the troll brood unless otherwise

stated.

Troll Stupidity

All trolls suffer from stupidity. This is a test that is taken at the begining of the troll

players turn, and is taken per the rulebook entry, one exception. The troll taking the test is

allowed to add 1 to his leadership for every memeber of the brood who is not out of

action.. ("whut wuz we doin' agin?"). In addition to that no test is required if the troll is

engaged in Hand to Hand combat, of if there is an enemy within charge range .

Fear

All Trolls cause fear

Greedy

A troll who is within charge range of an enemy must charge. ("yew ain't gonna get me

stonies!!") This Charge must be attempted, even if it will fail due to terrain. A Troll must

charge the closest target.

Trolls and Income

Trolls do not sell wyrdstone, but in fact they eat it!. That is what is represented by the

income chart in the Mordheim rule book.

After they eat the Wyrdstone, the trolls give off the smell of Wyrdstone and Troll, which

in turn attracts other trolls to the brood. This is how trolls recruit new memebers into the

brood.

Trolls may never buy weapons, but are free to switch between the weapons on the Troll

weapons list between battles, (as they cost nothing). Any treasure, gold or equipment

found is not sold, but hoarded in the brood's cave. It can not be sold, (who would deal

with a troll?) but can be used to pay ransom for captured members, or any other trade

between the brood and other war bands. If a troll has the "weapons master" skill then he

may use whatever weapon he happens to find or that is in the treasure hoard at the cave,

but still may not purchase any new weapons.

Your brood must include 1 Big Daddy

Big Daddy's start with 10 experience

Troll Special Skills

The following are the special skills and abilities available to trolls when gaining

advances. Unlike most special skills there is also a cost associated with taking each one.

This is expressed in the number of Wyrdstone shards that a troll must consume at the

time the skill is chosen. If the trolls do not currently have that many shards to consume

then the skill may not be chosen.

Vomit (2 shards)

The troll spats forth a huge stream of Wyrdstone and stomach acid suitable for eating

through the hardest metal. Once each game the troll may make a single STR 5 vomit

attack instead of his normal attacks. This attack hits automatically and ignores armour

saves.

Regenerate (3 shards)

This troll has accelerated his healing to an almost instantaneous rate. After each wound

the troll takes roll a D6. On a result of 4+ the wound is healed automatically.

Nasty Skin (1 Shard)

The troll is covered in disgusting ooze, long greasy hair, huge jagged spikes, or just really

stinks. All close combat attacks are at

-1 to hit.

Magically Grounded (1 shard)

T he troll is grounded against magic. any spell cast on him will fail on a d6 roll of 4+.

Ground Pounder (2 Shards)

The troll is capable of slamming both fists into the ground with such force that the entire

surrounding area will quake. This is

done in the shooting phase. all models within 2d6" must pass an initiative check or

immediately be knocked down. models within 2" of an edge must pass an additional

check or fall.

Know Whuts (1 Shard)

The troll loses the stupidity rule immediately.

Acid Skin (1 Shard)

All attacks by this troll have an additional -1 armour save modifier.

Acid Blood (1 Shard)

Any model that successfully wounds the troll in HTH combat takes on strength 3 hit (no

criticals).

Extra Limbs (3 shards)

The troll gains D3 extra arms, allowing one extra attack each, with the same rules as an

axe. This upgrade may be taken only once and the extra arms must be represented on the

model or the extra attacks may not be made.
