Norscan Ice Trolls
Mutations of the frozen north enable them to freeze their unfortunate victims with their foul, icy breath.Ice Trolls originate further north than their counterparts from Troll Country. All Trolls have indiscriminate appetites and unthinking ferocity, and the northern variety are no different. With their great strength and regenerative abilities, the warlike Northmen find uses for Trolls in battle, despite them having rather limited intelligence. Most varieties are able to spew acidic stomach bile over their victims to inflict a nasty death, but the Ice Trolls’ proximity to the Chaos Wastes has caused this ability to mutate into something else altogether. With a single exhalation of their icy breath, they can instantly freeze their foes in their tracks, usually just before gobbling them up in a crunch of icy flesh and bones.

Abilities
- Regeneration
There are beings and creatures that can mend bone and knit flesh at an incredible rate. A mighty boon, but one stunted by fire.
Attributes
- Causes Fear
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack. - Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Frostbite
The intense cold cuts into the flesh and burns the foe's extremities, greatly reducing their speed. - Poor Leadership
This unit suffers from poor Lord or other encouraging units nearby. - Armour-Piercing
The damage of armour-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
flaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration.
