It does look good, a bit of a specific pose.

Would have been a good one to include with the Goblins and a more generic one released on its own maybe.

Let's hope there's a different version with the Goblin release, though I fear that's wishful thinking

Look at the sprues on the link, there is an open hand and a separate ball....

I take that back....looks like the open hand is 2 piece and the ball is the goblin ball. This thing is going to be like 36$ CAD..feth that.swamp trolls it is..

Vigo. Spain.

The model its beautiful but... don't it looks like... too profesional?

I expect that pose from a Elf player that know what its doing. A troll its stupid as a rock! How he can know such a technique to throw the ball (gobbo!) properly?

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Not a huge fan, but it's nicely sculpted at least. Should be easy to convert into winding up for a big Mighty Blow.
I agree that the pose looks way too much like he knows what he's doing.

Galas summed up my thoughts that I couldn't put into words. If I'm getting a troll ever, I want it to maybe be having a head/-scratching moment or a very angry troll about to take a swing at someone. It's pose makes the troll look so intelligent that the notion itself becomes rather dumb.

Couldn't we have at least gotten a pose of the troll maybe trying to eat the goblin instead?!

Yeah, most of its OK, just not a fan of the head, it's weird. They seem to have designed the orcs to be less goofy and more serious, and yet the troll and goblin are extra cartoonish.

Eh, bit disappointed to be honest. The pose just isn't working for me, maybe if his left arm was lower instead of half covering his face, and his right arm was more slung back and less covered in details.

From the pose it looks more like he's about to throw the goblin directly in to the ground rather than any distance.

I throw up a little in my mouth every time I hear one of AoS's terrible renaming of standard fantasy stuff. I threw up a little more when I had to try find Stone Trolls on the GW site which are now called Rockgut Troggoths

At least I'm glad BB hasn't gone full you know what and are keeping the names standard.

I don't get that pose.

Rather than a throwing pose, it looks to me like he's raising the goblin up in the air while simultaneously covering one of his eye and jumping up and down on one leg.

Maybe it's clearer from a different angle?

I keep rotating it around in the 360 view and.... nope... still looks wrong

A lot of the other BB poses we've seen look fine in a 360, this one really isn't doing anything for me.

I really like it, beatiful sculpt...but not really as a BB model, as others said. The pose should work really well on "a 2-handed chop motion" Troll. Do I need a Troll with a 'uge choppa? Maybe, depends on price, I guess.

PS: Is that not one of 'Eavy Metals best paintjobs recently? Wow. They're getting GOOD at this. Compare that to 6th Ed spearmen that looked like basecoat and some shades with no highlight in WD pics.

Yeah true. I'm thinking it might look better without the goblin and if it's at all possible to lower his left arm so it's not covering his face, then it might just look like he's getting ready to bash someone.

It's a shame they didn't make the goblin a separate piece because then he'd just have a big open hand which I think would look a bit better.

I'm really loving the grittier style GW are using for the BB models now and this Troll really highlights it with the mix of different greens, browns and some purplish tones.

I wish I could paint like that, even if I could pull off the technique I completely lack the artistic ability.

Wish I could see these new models painted by someone with talent. I hate to say it but the hack they have painting stuff for the FW photos needs to be replaced.

They have an entire studio devoted to painting stuff up for photos, and they need to use them. The models look pretty poor, but I hope it's just the poor paintwork which is doing that.

Don't care for the death roller, but I don't care for the "can only sculpt straight edges" approach they've gone for most of the dwarfs lately.

Agree to disagree, for the most part I like the stuff they've been painting for BB (with a couple of exceptions like the Rat Ogre that was just a complete miss). I prefer the rougher style, sure, blending is difficult and takes a lot of time, but frankly I usually think it ends up looking too cartoonish for my tastes. I like that they're going for a rougher oil painting style.

I don't like the pose of the troll.
It looks like he is scared of a mouse and maybe wants to smack it with the goblin.
