Trolls are back

I only mentioned recently how I was tempted by the re-release of the Ork Dreadnought, then I saw that for Warhammer: The Old World that the Trolls were going to be re-released.

I mentioned in my post about the Green Tide that I am also tempted to get some Trolls, models I never got when I originally built my army.

These are nice models.

My shopping list is getting longer…

Orc Boar Riders and Goblins

This lovely photograph classic Orc Boar Riders and Goblins with Trolls and Snotlings in support. Check out the liberal use of Goblin Green and the amazing Snotling Pump Wagon.

It was originally published in 1992, that’s quite some time ago. At this time I had “gone off” Warhammer but it had become, for me, looking slightly silly and the models appeared to be “unrealistic”. Come on how realistic are snotlings in the first place… I think a contributing factor as well was that Games Workshop were getting quite “strict” about their games, and the creativity we had seen in the earlier days was getting lost to “follow the army list to the letter”. I liked having fun, I think you can still have fun with games, but the models still need to look good.

Snotling Pump Wagon, still probably my favourite model of all time!
