Golgfag1's Trolls collection

[Golgfag1]

Following on from the BOYL2023 weekend, I thought I show my collection of trolls I used to worry the players involved in the game I was GMing with on Saturday, They only came into contact with players once they'd been attacked, or a member of the clan killed (lesson to be learned here - if, a big scary NPC isn't scheduled by the GM to attack you, maybe it's a good idea not to attack it).
Why have so many trolls you may ask - they suffer from stupidity and thus a liabilty on the tabletop, my response yeah, but you have to remember some of these Fantasy Tribe Trolls (1-6) were designed by Tom Meier, one of my fravorite designers from those early days of Citadel, the others by the Perrys and have bags of character and as for the stupidity - in third edition you test against cool, not intelligence and with their special rules - regeneration (At the end of the turn, any troll which has been slain that turn, or which has suffered 1 or more wounds, may attempt to regenerate. Roll a D6. If the score is 4,5,6 regeneration is succuessful and all wounds suffered are recovered), Regurgitate (This causes 1 strength 5 attack, but hit's automatically and discounts all armour (even magical). Any victim sustaining damage receives D3 wounds) and thump ( A single, well placed blow against a single enemy in base to base contact. The thump is made with with a +2 increase in weapon skill and with a +2 to strength. The armour save modifer is -3 and damaging blows cause D3 wounds. What's not to like?

Following on from my inital post here's more pictures of more trolls, this time the C 20 series, designed by the Perry twins, not quite as interesting to my eyes as Tom Meier's, but still cracking little pieces. Given I've so few of them, I'm considering a purchase of a few more.

At the same time the previous trolls were released, Citadel also produced a couple of specials, all designed by the Perrys if, I recall correctly. Again, all these miniatures have bags of character and project a degree of menace few have captured since, in my opinion.

Top trolling. It’s a bit of an obsession, isn’t it?

nice bunch of lads ^_^

Cool guys! Could you please make a group photo?!

 

[Golgfag1]

Ah, I should also show you the new stuff - these are from Satyr Studio and designed by Drew Day Williams, these just sing oldhammer in my opinion as they're have the sense of menace, fun and threat in abundence.

Not at all, I just need enough to be in balance with the rest of my orcs and goblins!

What a great collection! Thanks for showing off the lot and I second wanting to see a group photo!
Also- is that two different variants of the two headed troll? Could just be the paint job, but it looks like a few minor differences.

Fantastic set of models and stupidity is always fun isn't it?

Paul - I can't honestly imagine anyone asking that on this board!
