Trolling for Views....

Here's a pair of Aly Morrison C20 Trolls that I painted up for an OWAC squad sprint back in the Fall, a Hill Troll and a Warrior Troll. They're wonderful models, although a bit smaller in stature than the later 4th Edition Stone and River Trolls by Michael Perry.

Ready to fail Stupidity tests all day and night.
Oldhammer Meta Tactica!

I'm a big fan of running solo trolls for a few reasons:

1) They can move as independent characters, with no need to wheel or pull any special maneuvers. Perfect for attacking an enemy in the flanks.
2) Given that they're one of the few units in a Goblinoid army that's not affected by Animosity, you can position them between units that would be in danger of charging or shooting at each other.
3) Even a single troll can make a useful tarpit with its regeneration or take out a character with a well-timed vomit attack.

There's always the danger of your solo troll staring off into space or eating grass for a couple of turns, but if you're playing Goblinoids, you're probably not too fussed about reliability. Go play Elves or Dwarfs if that's your bag!

I've got a Marsh Troll on my OWAC3 painting pile, but I'm still looking for the Cave Troll. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one in 2020. This batch of C20s is a fun little range.
