Andy discusses the Dire Troll Mauler a heavy warbeast from the Trollbloods faction in Hordes.
This is one big, nasty looking beasty and its special abilitys make it one of the heavy-hitters in any Trollbloods player's warpack.

More WarmaHordes, I really enjoy these things, will you be doing a basic tactics for Trollbloods aswell?
Yes, but I’ll need to get my Madrak painted properly first. 😉
I definitely love the Mauler. p+s16 base and p+s19 with rage….. What’s not to love! Used in conjunction with the Axer’s animus, the Mauler gets a greater threat range as well.The Mauler is more than a match for any other warbeast/’jack, exceptions being a few specific other heavies e.g. Behemoth, Bronzeback Titan. These two chunky monkey’s have a serious amount of hit points and if they aren’t taken down they can inflict some serious damage on the return.
Ah damn you did it again, not only did you guys, especially Andy, bring me to playing warmachine and starting a khador army, but now i am considering starting a hordes army as well, because I am really starting to like those trolls….
anyway looks like a solid beatstick to me (or should I say pretty solid beatstick) and was it only me who missed the pointcost of this brawler or did you not mention them?
I might of forgotten, or maybe it was cut in the edit.
The Mauler is 9pts
Ah okay then i think it is quite expensive as well, it is the same PC as the devastator and not quite as tough… but then you never know what tricks a troll player has up his or her sleeve, but still 9 Points is quite expensive IMO
Ah and thanks by the way, totally forgot that, sorry!
Hordes heavies tend to be, pound for pound, more expensive than Warmachine heavies. It’s not really an apples to apples comparison. You’re paying a bit extra for things like their animus and the way Fury works. The fact that this guy can make 7 attacks in one activation alone is worth 9 points, add in the snacking and his animus, and I think he might even be a bit cheap. 🙂
I recently took delivery of the extreme dire troll mauler, because its hands down my favorite PP model ever, and I love the story of how it came to be (basically a sculptor saw the model and thought ‘NEEDS MORE ANGRY’) and kickstarted the whole extreme thing on the PP site.
Will the cryx tactics video be put up again
You mean these?

Hmm, doesn’t work, does it?
no
IMO one of the best looking modell ever! (The incredible Hulk!)
Oh, how I love this miniature… Really one of the best trolls around. Fun to paint, fun to play !

Picking up my first Hordes minis I had a real struggle between the Earthborn Dire Troll and the Dire Troll Mauler.
In the end I went for the Earthborn just cause it seemed a little more interesting but the Mauler is very much the next model I have my eye on getting.
I do like the extreme model, but there is something about the pose of the regular mauler that I really love, the two open hands just seem so much more threatening than closed fists on something that size to me.
