Though temperamental and difficult to control, a Troll is a whirling ball of difficult-to-kill death.

Chaos Trolls are a Warhost of the Apocalypse Warriors of Chaos monstrous infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with the Chaos Warriors Race Pack.

WH1 - WH2[ | ]

Description[ | ]

Chaos Trolls are malformed monsters whose lack of intelligence is as legendary as their great strength. Chaos Trolls are greatly feared because of their unthinking ferocity and indiscriminate appetites. Like all their kind, Chaos Trolls can vomit forth the steaming contents of their guts, dissolving their victims with powerful acids and flesh-eating worms. They are also possessed of powerful regenerative abilities: lost limbs and even heads can grow back. However, Troll flesh is extremely susceptible to the mutating power of Chaos, and Trolls who have lurked too close to the Realm of Chaos find tentacles, screaming maws and even stranger mutations sprouting from their wounds.

  • Monstrous infantry Monstrous Infantry
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of Modifier icon armour piercingarmour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
  • Regeneration: Wh main unit passive regenerationRegeneration allows a unit to heal while in battle. Fire is known to harm this healing process, so be warned that Modifier icon flaming channelflaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration.
  • Poor Leadership: This unit suffers from poor leadership and will easily rout. Keep its flanks secure and your Lord or other encouraging units nearby.

Strategy[ | ]

Chaos Trolls offer good AP damage and regeneration but will rout quickly if pressed hard. As with other race's versions they do best when mixed in with infantry to prop up their leadership and limit the damage they take to what their regeneration can keep pace with. As the Warriors of Chaos already have excellent infantry, they don't often need trolls to do what is asked of them. Marauders lack AP damage and durability and would benefit the most from the addition of trolls.

Consider Spawn instead of Trolls if you are against low-armour targets that deal good damage, as they will be able to deal damage over a long time without routing, due to their higher leadership but lack of AP.

With the Warbands update that came with Champions of Chaos, Chaos Trolls have a little more to say for themselves in campaign. This is because they are very easy to find in virtually any environment, making them excellent picks in the early game to beef up stacks full of Marauders. Notably most Warriors of Chaos factions struggle against lots of armour early on, which Trolls can handily solve.
