Any news on these? I'm really looking forward to getting hold of these so I can feel guilty about not quite getting around to painting them.

Er, I mean...

Yes, I pre-ordered these and am curious when they're going to join my ranks of half-painted or unpainted Gloranthan guys.

No particular rush, but just curious. And keen to see them in the flesh (well, metal)...

I wish they had some better pictures of the sculpts. They look lovely!

I think they have shipped this week?
I guess backers living in Britain would get them first please write here if you get them so the rest of us will know that they are on their way! :) Also not in a hurry to get them but exited to see them live!!

 My order arrived today - excellent figures, well packed. Those trolls are huge figures, be interesting to see how they scale the trollkin!

Good news indeed!

No sign of mine yet, but I'll keep a weather eye out for the postman.

Curious how the trolls look alongside the ones I have from Fenris (which are also huge, and very well done). Some day I should finish painting them...

Mine arrived too, lovely models extremely well packaged - worth every penny.

Don't think any model is under 32mm in height, though still trying to adjust to the Troll in full Beatle Armour.

Almost afraid to try to paint them.

Glad to hear they're going out. When I get mine, I'll take some pictures alongside the Fenris Miniatures trolls for comparison.

Mine arrived this morning. Lovely figures, and properly Gloranthan in aspect. Trolls are big, though, even compared to the Fenris trolls. But probably compatible, I reckon.

Of course, if like me you've been acquiring Gloranthan oddments from various sources over the years, you've now got trolls (and other things) in a wild variety of sizes and styles.... All to the good, though. The Rapier morokanth are stunning, too; if the range carries on as it's begun, we're in for a treat.

Now of course I need to paint them...

Here are a couple of quick comparison pics.

First, l-r, Fenris dark troll, Citadel mistress race troll, Rapier dark troll. The bases on all except the Citadel one are just pro tem.

Second, l-r, Rapier cave troll, Citadel cave troll.

That Citadel Cave Troll is a midget! Somebody didn't check the source material... lol

It's great to finally see proper photos of some of them. Not sure the trolls work for me, somehow. Looking forward to seeing pics of the Morokanth!
