Yeah, those hands are gargantuan big... But dammit, he looks amazing
Rules wise, it seems he's looted a Bombard cannon - Khador don't think much of it, but considering this guy probably has RAT 6, and trolls have access to several attack buffs and can have Snipe in any list... I think it'll find a nice home.

I could see that, he looks like Gunjborn became a Troll sans hat.
What's funny, is when his model parts were first spoiled--the showed that hand next to a regular miniature and everyone was saying "It has to be a new Gargant!" because of the size. In true Troll let down fashion though, nope..it's just a character beast with ridiculous hands
Here's hoping he's better than the Night Troll.

Yeah, but Trolls have always had this "Ape like" stature to them, where you can see them going at full pelt on all fours, like a Gorilla.
Though this guy looks like he really needs to give leg day a go, the ratio of his limbs doesn't look *too* off compared to other Troll models. We're not quite in Growler physiology yet, but this guy certain has some in his blood.

You know looking at him again, he looks very "Behemothish". Same bombard cannon, looks like AP fists and the little guy will probably grant virtuoso (ala sub cortex). If so, I could see him in my eGrim list--as the main problem I have with eGrim is taking advantage of his feat while still having a beater.

Looks like a standard Destroyer Bombard to me. Big B's aren't as fat. Not sure about the AP. He looks like he has some Bombard ammo on his right fist, but nothing to indicate how he would get it, unless that's his Animus.

I don't see any huge hands or heads in any release other than Trollbloods...
Then you're not looking hard enough . I'll spoiler out my reply as it's pic-heavy:
Spoiler:
A quick glance at the Circle warbeasts page yields:
Trolls are definitely the worst offenders, but the "oversized" design aesthetic is in many, many lines. Two quick samples from other races:
It's very common with PP. It's by no means in every race, but it's in lots of them, particularly in Hordes. In Warmachine, you just substitute giant shoulder pads for giant hands for many races:
It's part of their look, and I get that. I'm just saying, a legitimate criticism of when it goes too far is... well, legitimate

Outfitted with a crudely rigged bombard salvaged from a Khadoran Destroyer, Dozer is an impossible fusion of nature’s fury and mechanical destruction. From his perch atop Dozer, Smigg operates the wildly inaccurate bombard with surprising effectiveness and is revered as an ace by other pygs. So spectacular are their battlefield rampages that other blitzers are inspired by their example and strive to make every attack count.
So it sounds like he gives a buff to Blitzers. My impression is that those see very little use currently, so my question to Troll players is: what kind of buff would he have to provide to make Blitzers viable?

A simple plus one shot and RAT buff would do plenty.
So instead of D3 shots a D3+1.

Uh-oh, "inaccurate". If he has the inaccurate rule, the Trollblood forums will explode in anguish.
