I need Trolls

[Argonor]

I find myself in shortage of the 'classical' D&D kind of regenerating troll, because I am preparing to get started on Sellswords and Spellslingers.

I have a single piece of the old Ral Partha sculpt, but it is rather unimpressive in size.

Reaper Bones has a very appropriate one, but I would like a few different poses, as S&S is a semi-RPG/skirmish game with individual monsters.

Can some of you gentlemen point me to some other 'old school' looking trolls (preferably with a price-tag somewhat short of my firstborn), please?

Conqueror do some old school D&D types

and of course Otherworld

That Otherworld troll looks nice, thanks!

[Sinewgrab]

The plastic 'collectible' game had trolls in it - and they aren't usually too bloody expensive.

[Argonor]

Might have a look around for those, thanks!

You can get the lower one of those Whizzkids trolls unpainted:

[u=https://wizkids.com/dnd-unpainted/]https://wizkids.com/dnd-unpainted/[/u]

It's fairly cheap (about £4 in the UK), but not a patch on the Otherworld ones. I bought one of the Otherworld pair recently; it's terrific.

(I wonder why D&D trolls have suddenly started wearing loincloths. It seems a bit out of character for the "horrid carnivores" of the Monster Manual and the bestial Poul Anderson original they're based on. Tom Meier would have had none of it, I'm sure ...).

[Argonor]

Ah, nice! Thanks!

I was browsing the Reaper Bones and found trolls of other types, but I want to have a few of the 'basic' kind.

The Bones range does have a few other monsters I shall have to get, too, though.

Ral Partha europe do some old school looking trolls. Kind of like D&D except clothed.

You would wear a loincloth too if you had no knackers!   


I am amused that Conqueror have male and female trolls, the latter with saggy breasts, but neither have any sign of genitalia.
Are trolls born or made?  Lack of genitals would imply made, but the breasts indicate a mammalian origin. 

Wizkids figures are quite easy to paint.
I wonder why I never got the Ral Partha trolls?  Still, I am quite happy with my green ogre/trolls.



The Mirliton trolls are quite basic in sculpt and are clothed, but have a certain D&D look about them:

Mirliton could be a go-to if I need more sophisticated specimens in the future.

Thanks!

Quite easy to convert Bones figures using a sharp knife, superglue, and a bit of greenstuff. Did it for my orcs which I had multiples of the same pose from the kickstarter.

I always assumed if a D&D style troll wanted kids they just chopped of a few body parts and waited for them to regenerate

Looking at those Conqueror models I think I know which part they chopped off!

Didn't even think of that...

Well, I ordered some Bones stuff earlier today, so maybe on a later occasion.

I don't know if you can find him on eBay, but Massive Darkness, the Kickstarter version came with an excellent troll - far more GW old school in design.  I'm about to start working on one soon.
