Pre-thoughts:
I have never played Trolls, Shaggoth, Nurgle palanquin BSB, and barley gore beast chariots. So my thoughts divided, I think they look strong but not sure how strong. My thought is DP will die first or second turn before reaching its target, but hopefully, he will draw enough firepower from WM to let the trolls reach combat. I have never played lore of Nurgle and will swap to it later but stay on lore of death to not add too many new things.

Magic:
I rolled 1,2,3,4 on death magic. I swapped fear Aug to signature spell. So I have two hex and two snipe spells.
So my spells are: Soul Blight, the caress of laniph, spirit leach and doom and darkness.

After Turn 1:
WoC
Passed all stupidity tests.

Charges: Gorebeast charges Scouts and fails with a not too good of a position for the rest of the trolls.

Movement: Little Trolls marches through the wood that raises up and kills a troll from magic arms with six hits and four wounds and only one regen. 😂🌲🌳🌵👺
The rest of the units moves forward as much as possible trying to manoeuvre with the chariot in the way. Daemon Prince flies forward to a tempting position. Either he dies from WM or causes havoc.

Magic: I roll average winds and play doom and darkness on his BSB unit and then play spirit leach on his bsb (yeah I know they don't combo) I roll high on both, and he let through DoD spell broke my spirit leach. 😞

Shooting: No

Combat: No

Dwarfs
Charges: Scouts charged my center hounds flank.

Movement: gyrocopter drops some bombs on my left hounds that manage to pass its panic test.

Magic: No, but he dispelled my remain in play LD -3 with 12 dice.

Shooting: gunners shoot as DP but did 0 wounds but removed the charmed shield. First organ gun misfired and only got 2 hits and 0 wounds, the second organ gun misfired but managed to 1 wound on DP on ~6 hits. His cannon had fire rune do he skipped shooting at DP when he knew about gem and tried to hit bsb but only did 1 wound after a misfire reroll rune. Pretty unfortunate shooting round... Gyros roster some hounds.

Combat: Scouts killed two hounds but another low LD roll on the hounds on break test and they held.

Turn 2:

WoC
Passed all stupidity tests.

Charges: shaggoth failed a charge on a gyrocopter. Daemon prince charged the thunderers with bsb, we played as he was too close for a stand and shoot as he was within 10” and flying.

Movement: I moved little trolls forward as much as possible as they still were in the range of DP for LD tests. I moved the rest as much forward as possible I could not charge the gyro or the rangers in front of the hoard as my position was horrible after the failed charge from turn 1.

Magic: roll a middle roll again. I started with sniping an organ gun as he let the spell through keeping dice against soulblight. I rolled high and as the war machine handlers have S3 I manage to make 3 wounds. I also gained two dice from lore attribute.
I then went on and managed to cast soulblight with irresistible force. On the GW dwarfs in front of the little Trolls. Loosing two dice in a 9 on miscast table.

Shooting: no

Combat: daemon prince at a champion in the first challenge. My wolves are a dwarf but the two warhound left hold their ground.

Dwarfs
Charges: great weapons warriors charges the little trolls.

Movement: gyros get into position, HaS warriors swift reform to block hounds to reach WM (after reading FvonSigmaringen posts on reforms)

Magic: No

Shooting: cannon did one wound on shaggoth, organ gun, not sure but think it missed wounding a gordbeast chariot. Gyrocopters did manage to roast a lot of wounds on the big troll unit.

Combat: DP took out Dwarf BSB in the next challenge. We were both a bit surprised but the little trolls did hugely well with soulblight backup. They almost took no wounds and did massive wounds on the dwarf warriors with GW. Rangers killed the last hounds and reformed to be in the way of big trolls.

After turn 3:

WoC
Passed all stupidity tests.

Charges: Girebeast failed charge on warriors with GW. Gorebeast charged the HaS warriors. Big troll charged the rangers. Last flank hounds charged the cannon.

Movement: shaggoth moved into position for charges. Warhounds tries to wheel for some charge room.

Magic: medium winds, a big roll of caress of laniph on organ gun losing 1 wound that he let through. First game this spell has been useful for me and I need to rate this spell higher. Another huge roll on soulblight on Warriors with GW that he could not stop.

Shooting: no

Combat: another massive little troll shopping on the GW warriors with the help of soulblight and his general died. DP smashed some thunderers and gore beast lost combat against warriors but hold.

After this combat, it was getting late and my opponent conceded as he more or less didn't have anything left to fight back with.

Finished the report.

The game became pretty one sided with his triple WM misfire first crucial turn. My opponent still managed to hold good sports but I could tell he didn't like the DP and I don't blame him. We kind of both wanted him to kill it. Still, always fun bringing the models out and having a pint or two of lager and Warhammer evening with a friend.

As I am painting this army I will make sure next time I bring it to tell my friends to bring their A-list now that I know its capabilities.
