GW promised free rules downloads, and they did not disappoint with the new Trugg the Troggoth King AoS rules and Warscroll!
The model will be hitting pre-order this weekend (the 16th), so it’s nice to know what he can do before you throw down those hobby dollars! His rules will also be in the new Dawnbringers book, but if you don’t care about all the lore and missions in there, it’s better to download the rules.
They also give out rules for his Troggherd, and they are going to be much more powerful than your normal Troggs. Let’s jump into the new rules!
Trugg, the Troggoth King, Gets Free AoS Rules & Warscroll From GW!
The latest on Trugg the Troggoth King Gets Free AoS Rules Warscroll Download comes from Warhammer Community.
Trugg is the real star of the show, a MONSTER in size (and keyword) with antlers sprouting from his throbbing bonce after centuries spent napping in the nurturing realm of Ghyran. These healing energies now flow through his veins, and he is Imbued with Life, sporting 16 wounds and adding 3 extra wounds to his Regeneration – that’s a total of D3+3 for anyone who isn’t a dedicated troggoth-head.
With 16 Wounds and insane regeneration, he should be hard to take off the board. Your opponent will basically have to kill him in one go, or he’ll just stick around with a ton of wounds.
The altar fused to Trugg’s back is currently on the blink after his repeated attempts to dislodge it. Every time he thumps it, it responds by dishing out magic from the realms. This Malfunctioning Leystone can either zap him with D3 mortal wounds if his clubbing triggers the Glyph of Shyish, improve the rend of his Ironshell Club and Mighty Antlers by 1 if the Glyph of Aqshy is activated, or grant him a steely ward save of 5+ should the Glyph of Chamon sparkle to life.
You get four dice when he’s not damaged, so you should have a decent chance at getting the effect you want. Then, if you get one you really like, you can keep the result for as long as you like.
They all are all quite good (well, obviously, other than rolling a 1) and can either give you more combat damage or plenty of survivability.
For 320 points, he can dish out some insane punishment to big monsters, as his club gets four attacks when healthy, hits and wounds on a 3+, and does D6 damage per swing! His Antlers can also hit and wound on a 2+ and do D3+3 damage. Oh yeah, not to mention it can just outright kill characters with a single dice roll.
Troggherd Rules
This collection of dim but mighty Troggoths remains affected by The Bad Moon’s Orbit like any Gloomspite Gitz army. As the celestial object crosses the board it grants the Moonlit Hide trait to Troggoths it effects, but the biggest change is that Trugg’s Malfunctioning Leystone emits an Aura of Haywire Magic which applies all of those random effects to every single unit.
This is a pretty crazy rule as its effects get multiplied, meaning way more damage output!
The plodding procession following Trugg contains all sorts of special Troggbosses which can be represented by the Traits of Trugg’s Troggs and Dankhold Detritus – that’s command traits and artefacts to you. The former can even affect Unique units, meaning Ceaseless Growth can boost Regeneration and Greater Regeneration even further on Trugg, making him near impossible to put down.
They also all get better at regenerating, making your regiment much harder to kill.
The truculent troggoths following Trugg also tote an assortment of trinkets, such as the Thwackwheezer Club, which is riddled with sporeshroom fungi that explode on impact into clouds of spores that choke and befuddle opponents, causing them to subtract 1 from hit rolls and wound rolls if the bearer has fought in the same phase.
This is a massive debuff to all enemy units; you just get it on all of them!
