The Book of Hrognak (unmounted)

The Book of Hrognak

C3V Wave 7 (Wave 20) - Oreld's Orders - Heroes of Crumland



PDF Download

The figure used for this unit is one of the two Orc Archer figures from the Blood of Gruumsh box set from the D&D Dungeon Command line.

Character Bio: The story of Hrognak's rise through the ranks is well-told on Grut. Trained as a Heavy Grut, Hrognak once picked up the bow of a fallen Arrow Grut and discovered he was a natural archer. His presence inspires haste in his fellow orcs, who believe that this is only the start of Hrognak's legend.

Spoiler Alert!


Quote:
Orc Movement Aura
If an Orc figure you control begins its turn within 2 clear sight spaces of Hrognak, it may move 1 additional space. Hrognak's Orc Movement Aura does not affect Hrognak.

Disengage
Hrognak is never attacked when leaving an engagement.

Re: The Book of Hrognak

He might work well as a filler hero in a Heavy Grut build. While most of your turns will be with Grimnak, he might the random turn once in a while to take a shot at an enemy (and to move his aura). Being ranged probably helps this cheerleader more than anything, because otherwise Nerak fills the filler roll quite nicely since defense is always nice...

I wonder how well this guy would work with Blades. They already have the speed, but more movement is their key advantage.

Re: The Book of Hrognak

Being a ranged hero is pretty huge for the gruts. Look at everything Me-Burq-Sa does for the Romans and Deathchasers. I'm pretty sure he shows up in most builds that feature the latter... Just ask @vegietarian18 or @dok

Re: The Book of Hrognak

I used him in our most recent tournament (Delta+) playing: Blade Gruts x5, Tornak, Nerak, Ornak, and Hrognak (drop 2 gruts).

I played using Ornak to move Tornak and Nerak Round 1 Turn 1, then using the Gruts to move Hrognak or Ornak himself the rest of the time, with occasion turns for Tornak and Nerak as needed.

He was key in my first game on The Hotways or the Highways where the highway was clogged by Orcs and Death Knights and both of us were really unwilling to use the lava to flank. However, Hrognak, the only ranged figure on the board was able to get on and off of the lava to take pot shots at the likes of Air Elementals, Dumetef Guards, Skull Demon, and Raelin. He landed a key shot on Raelin when he had Height and Unique Attack +1 and rolled 4/4 skulls and Raelin whiffed.

He also landed a key wound on the Venoc Warlord, allowing the Gruts to kill the Viper, who had the Healing Potion and would've healed next turn otherwise.

His bonus was pretty useful, allowing me to grab Wound on Mayberry in Game 5 in just a single move, and just get the Gruts out even faster.

A Delta+ tornament? So many units have been introduced since I was advocating it. How does it work now?

We ran any units that had a changed price used that price and any new VC units were priced as they are. So Hrognak was still just 60pts.

You can see more here.

Re: The Book of Hrognak

Did anyone in teh C3V playtest this unit being Large so it could bond with Death Chasers of Thesk? The figure even looks large, and they need a ranged hero as well, and the movement bonus would be nicer if he bonded. In home games he will definitely count as Large, but I am wondering if the C3V didn't consider it, or did but went against it.

He's definitely not Large. He's the size of a regular Orc.

Re: The Book of Hrognak

I stand corrected, he is medium for sure. Will be nice in Grut or Heavy build. One thing is: since there is two sculpts of him in Blood of Gruumsh set, why isn’t he uncommon. Far from me to question C3V when I have not playtested since the first couple waves. But I think two of him with Gruts would have been nice in an army. Guess it’s more Gruts, dinosaurs, or Brute Gruts

Re: The Book of Hrognak

That would have been an interesting design space to explore with this figure, but I like where it ended up.

Re: The Book of Hrognak

Just thought of a fun "Slingshot" idea.
Ornak + Brunak + Hrognak
Order marker 1 on Ornak - take a turn with Brunak who carries Hronak, then take a turn with Hrognak
Threat range = 6 (Brunak Move) + 1 (Carry) + 6 (Hrognak move) + 5 (Hrognak range) = 18! Enough to shoot opponent's start zone Round 1/Turn 1 on most maps, for sure by turn 2 since you can bond with Heavy/Blade Gruts. Although it is not best when you want to take advantage of the Orc Movement Aura, it can really help attack opponent unaware. You can also do mid-game after most your orcs are 1/2 way down the map to move Hrognak way up for his aura and attack at the same time.

Army ideas:
______________________________
Ornak +100
Hrognak +60
Brunak +110 = (270 core requirement)
______________________________
Blade Gruts * 3 +120 = 390
Nerak / Tornak / Grimnak +50/+100/+120 = 440 / 490 / 510
______________________________
Blade Gruts * 4 +160 = 430
Nerak / Tornak / Grimnak +50/+100/+120 = 480 / 530 / 550
______________________________
Heavy Gruts x 3 +210 = 480
Nerak = 530
______________________________
Add in Raelin, Marcu, and/or Isamu if you have room
