The Book of Tor-Kul-Na

[kafkaesque]

Stompy usually stays alive long enough to go through about half the ranged units, though. 6 life 5 defense can't be taken down in 1 round. He gets worse with Nagrubs. I don't fear ranged squads much, unless I have to charge some 4th or 10th.

I hate Tor-Kul-Na... He Trample Stomped all of my romans in one turn and then one shotted Marcus.

I say he is overpowered.

Getting 4 Trample Stomp in a row is unlikely but not terribly (17.9% chance.) I've played him a lot and he usually just gets one or two at a time (and sometimes none!) although it is pretty sweet when he goes on the ramage. I love using trample stomp to take out Isamu because it's one of the few ways to reliably kill that pesky ninja.

The one-shotting of Marcus is something you probably won't see again in a long time (.46% chance, or about 1 in 200).

I played last night with TKN against DIVIDERS . They can sure stop trample stomp.

How so? Cell Divide only triggers when receiving wounds from a Normal or Special Attack, not a special power like Trample Stomp.

Cell Divide: When a Marro Divider you control receives one or more wounds from a Normal or Special Attack by an opponent's figure, you may roll the 20-sided die before removing that figure. If you roll a 17 or higher, ignore any wounds that figure just received and, if possible, place one of your previously destroyed Marro Dividers on a same-level space adjacent to the defending Marro Divider.

Dividers are just as susceptible to Trample Stomp as any other squad.

What Rÿchean is saying is that Dividers don't even get the chance to roll a 17+. The power is only triggered by wounds from normal or special attacks, which isn't the case with Trample Stomp.

If an ability doesn't say Special Attack, it isn't one.

I have a question regarding this guy and the only reason I ask is because I dont want to cheat my buddy I play with on the weekends. When using his special the part I get confused about is the same level situation. For example, if he starts on lvl 1, moves up to lvl 2 using 2 movement and is adjacent at that point and same level as a small or medium enemy, I assume he can then trample stomp? Then use his third movement to move into that spot and continue up another level? I am just wondering if he starts on lvl 1 can he only trample people on lvl 1? or can he move up a lvl , achieve the same lvl as an opponent, trample and continue his movement? I apologize if this has been asked before, I just hate cheating.

TKN can move up and down levels while in the middle of Trample Stomp, but the key to this ability is that he must be on a space where he can legally stop when you roll the d20 to try to put a wound on a fig.

Thank you for the quick response. +rep

does tor-kul-na still get to attack after wounding (and not killing) a hero with trample?

Yeah, Tor-Kul-Na (and his Nagrubs too) can still attack, it's just that he has to stop his movement when he fails to kill a figure.

TKN has not only the best stats in the SotM but he also has arguably the best special power. The only thing is, it is hard to fit 220 in your budget for tournement games.
