So Peter asked a group of us to join him for a Path to Glory campaign which has been improved in AOS3 to be more like the Crusade system which is now in use by 40k.
Despite being a Gloomspite fan, I am struggling with using them in tournaments at the moment having gone 0-3 at a local tournament with Squigs – and being lucky to have got zero! There’s a few too many Gods (and Gotrek’s) in the tournament scene for me to enjoy the Gloomspite.
So, Path to Glory provided a perfect opportunity – and a bonus excuse to finish off my Troggoth army which Trogg (Stuart Hodges) has been bugging me to do for a while. I have a Dankhold Troggboss, 9 Fellwaters and 6 Rockguts already painted so a Warband size (1,000 points) would be a perfect starting point.
Going through the Core Book for Age of Sigmar 3 (pp 304), I found what I needed to do and that a Warband size allowed me one Starting Territory. As Troggoths have very expensive heroes, I decided to take ‘Small Settlement’ which would allow me to Reinforce an additional unit. I wouldn’t use it immediately but 6 or 9 Troggoths in small point games could be quite powerful.
My other choice was what to include in the armies within certain limitations (3 Heroes, 1 Wizard etc…). Fortunately the models I have made the decisions relatively easy. I couldn’t afford to have all my Troggoths so I went with 6 of each, led by a Dankhold Troggboss. To allow some playing with the magic phase (or Hand of Gork), I added a Fungoid Cave-Shaman.
With that decided my force looks like this:




Turning to page 308 of the Core Book I found I needed a Warlord – that was easy, it had to be the Dankhold Troggboss.

He would be my general in any games I play with him in the force. I also at this point took the opportunity to try out the Sub-Allegiance – Glogg’s Meganob from the Kragnos book which provides a little boost to healing the Troggoths. This gave me the default command ability and artefact of power from this allegiance.
Finally, I was allowed an Endless Spell and because I had a Fungoid I could even cast it. I wanted something unsubtle and Troggoth like, but with only 55 points left, Iwas limited in my choices. Looking through the options I couldn’t take any Gloomspite specific Endless spells, but Ravenak’s Gnashing Jaws were pointed at exactly 55 points. Clearly Mork had a plan so I roll with this and add them in. Is this Endless spell good – no – will it be fun – hopefully.

With that all done, I was ready to get a game organised… but I’m primarily a tournament player so that would have to wait a while, as I’m off to Mancunian Carnage this weekend with my Sons of Behemat.

Not quite sure how my Orruk’s are going to counter these boys
Thank you, we’re glad you liked the article. Declan will be posting more on his path to Glory games as they play out. As will I
