They're great little figures - clearly influenced by Ral Partha, but that's a good thing! And their low-slung style makes them good as trollkin - because they look like they're skulking and wretched. Also, the guy with the helmet is dressed looks a lot like the pictures of the trollkin watch in Pavis.

Bows rather than slings are a bit of a problem - but tonight, I just used the archers as slingers and nobody cared (or noticed, perhaps!). I think 15mm's good for that, because there's somehow less of a "what you see is what you get" impulse than in 28mm.

I'll give some of the others facial conversions to make them proper enlo, but 15mm scale is much more 'forgiving'. Tonight, I used some of my 1/72 orcs as dark trolls, and they worked just fine.



The Dark Alliance orcs are exactly the right size for dark trolls in 15mm; again, I'll probably convert some spares to have proper Uz snouts, focusing on those with bashing weapons.
