===Theme Forces ===
* '''''Trollblood
** {{Band of Heroes}}
** {{Kriel Company}}
** {{Power of Dhunia}}. In this theme, when this warbeast casts its own animus the COST is reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 0).
** {{Storm of the North}}
** {{Vengeance of Dhunia}}

* '''''Other Factions
** '''[[Minion]]''' players can also use this warbeast in the [[Vengeance of Dhunia]] theme.

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
He's a good, cheap beast with a very useful animus for increasing your melee damage. While not personally great in melee, he can power attack when necessary, which can prove to be useful in a pinch. His ranged attack, while infinitely inferior to that of the Dire Troll Bomber, is still great for clearing out infantry, especially since it causes Continuous Fire to everyone under the AOE.

If the Pyre Troll has any issue at all it’s subpar accuracy either in melee or at range. Fortunately that is offset by its low cost and capable support duties.Everyone likes a bit more melee oomph.

===Combos & Synergies===
'''Warlock Combos'''

* [[Horgle2]] likes models on fire to trigger burnt meat and his feat.
* [[Gunnbjorn1]] - Guided Fire lets it do work with its AOE while still using its animus.
* [[Gunnbjorn2]] loves anything with AOEs.
* [[Jarl Skuld]] - lacks any personal damage buff and swift hunter is great on 2 shots.

'''[[Power of Dhunia]] Combos'''

reducing the cost of the animus by 1 helps it to fulfil its support duties better.
* [[Horgle1]] can cast its animus a second time; reducing strain on your warlock and can use hot shot to make the Pyre hit harder at range.

'''[[Storm of the North]] Combos'''

* He's a great way to set [[Northkin Fire Eaters]] on fire. Deploy a [[Troll Whelps|Whelp]] in the center with your Fire Eaters in B2B with it, and leave one tiny gap for the Pyre to see and shoot the Whelp.
* [[Pyg Lookouts]] help the Pyre hit with mark target.

'''[[Kriel Company]] Combos'''

Mark Target from solos or [[Pyg Lookouts]] helps the Pyre hit.
* [[Northkin Fire Eaters]] live in this theme also
* [[Trollkin Gunnery Sergeant]] there may be better targets but artillerist further helps the Pyre hit.

'''[[Band of Heroes]] Combos'''

* [[Horgle1]] also lives in this theme and has better infantry targets for the animus to go with him.

'''[[Vengeance of Dhunia]]'''

Attuned spirit on the Pyre’s animus is a great reason to take him in this theme.
* Farrow Warlocks gain access to this model.
** [[Helga2]] usually prefers a melee battlegroup but her feat and escort along with Reposition really help the Pyre get where he needs to go.
* [[Trollkin Gunnery Sergeant]] lives in this theme too.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* With a poor RAT you're going to need to boost to hit, or hope for a good scatter.
** you are unable to boost both your shots and cast your animus outside of Power of Dhunia.
* With 10" RNG it is likely that what it fails to destroy with its ranged attack will be able to charge it.
* The Pyre Troll itself doesn't kill an amazing amount - infantry don't bunch up enough.

===Tricks & Tips===
* Shield Wall infantry keep their ARM bonus for Continuous Fire damage rolls. The POW is still high enough to kill at least some of them during the maintenance phase.
* Send him out in front and force the enemy to deal with him, attacks on him set the enemy on fire. Follow up in the next round after continuous fire effect damage. Try to set fire to the enemy caster, it's very distracting.
* His animus matches well with Warlocks who enjoy melee - Borka2 in particular.
