Trollkin Sluggers |
Disciplined soldiers armed with massive, belt-fed cannons, trollkin sluggers walk the battlefield blazing through ranks of foes with a withering hail of bullets. Enemy infantry is cut down in droves, and even the mightiest warbeast eventually succumbs to the concentrated fire of the sluggers’ relentless cannons.

Thoughts on Trollkin Sluggers
Trollkin Sluggers in a nutshell
They're a ranged combat unit. They prioritize hitting power and volume of fire over accuracy.
By being added to the Vengeance of Dhunia theme they have a wider group of Warlocks they can play with than most in-faction units. Unfortunately, not many of these minion Warlocks polish ranged models.
Combos & Synergies
- The Hunters Grim love ranged units.
- Horgle, the Anvil finds that a full unit of them is the best ten points he can have on feat turn.
- Captain Gunnbjorn can keep ranged fire off them with his feat and his wall. Snipe is also useful for extending their threat range.
Drawbacks & Downsides
- Overwatch affects all models in the unit, so to place one wall template, all models give up their ranged attacks.
Tricks & Tips
- Stay at your max range, don't expose yourself to more incoming fire than you need to.
- Overwatch can help protect a flag or charge lane from single wound infantry that might be otherwise difficult to hit with a straight up attack roll.
- Overwatch is a good option when you don't want to make 5 to 15 attacks, or just don't have targets available.
