I can't get over the proportions...

[It's standard dire troll body and MK arms]

Yea, the proportions are really, really out of whack. My brain keeps telling me that his hand is REALLY close to me, while his body is like a foot back from it at least. If I just stare at his face, it starts to shrink his hands. My brain is probably right.

'Heroic-Scale: The Mini'

"Oh... well when your email said ' a heroic dire troll' I just assumed you meant.... I mean, can we still make it? It took like, 400 hours..."

Proportions be damned, this was my first though seeing that dire troll:

I am starting a trollbloods army

I already started a Trollblood army! Ha, I one upped a cat!

I have a Trollblood army and this makes me want to dust them off again. I always try to get into Hordes but I never really stick with them. Multiple Warmachine factions always hold my attention much more than Hordes for some reason.

The more I look at this guy, the more awesome he seems - the details and sculpting are awesome, but the paint job just makes him pop. Just looking at the cracked fingernails, manky toenails and inflamed gums really makes him come to life

If I had a trollblood army, I would be unlikely to stop myself from buying this damned thing.

Update in the first post

Seriously guys, who's going to Lock And Load, I need a Ninja for Cephalyx.

Updated the first post a bit more. Now with unit pic and stats!

I really like the Cephalyx release. When the eDene tier list came out, I finally picked up some of the existing Cephalyx stuff and really liked the models. I hope the plastics turn out good. My friend's bane cav were great in terms of quality, as were about half of the convergence stuff another guy got. I'm a bit wary of the plastic unit box after seeing some of the small base convergence stuff.

Love all the rules though. Just solid fun stuff. I can't stand the nyss hunter miniatures, so I might get a box of Dark Eldar wyches and put them on 30mm bases as I think they'd really go well with the cephalyx models and give me a non-ugly option for nyss hunters with the donimator.

I found my replacement models for Wracks and Grotesques.

Way, WAY ahead of you. The old ones have been used in my Dark Eldar for years as Haemonculi and Wracks/Grotesques, even in the old book.

I'm already in a pretty good position for not spending much when it comes to them, I've already god 2x Max of the original unit and 2x Overlords built and painted. Add in the Cryx solos and I just need ET, a pair of the solos, and a couple Monstrosities to hit 35.

Sooo... turns out I need to buy some Cephalyx stuff, or I may die.

It's possible that's a slight exageration, but I can't see any logical reason to take that chance.

I'm so glad I left GW for this. Trollbloods are awesome.

What the ? I practically need for my big guns Gunnbjorn army! AWESOME!

New, beefier gators on the way...plus to all your prospective Troll players, plastic Runeshapers (with a price drop--yep switching to plastic got cheaper with this company)---and an EBDT plastic kit. Not going to post the Runeshapers/EBDT--it's the same models/poses as before, just plastic/cheaper. But new Gators!

Very nice - like the new gators. I hope some of the other gator stuff hits plastic too, I'd like to see the Wrastler get updated and the Bull be bigger.

I'm surprised about the plastic Runeshapers/EBDT - I wouldn't think a small unit and a relatively rare Dire Troll would get plastics before say ... The Kriel Warriors that everyone wants to be plastic (because a full unit is $$$)

Very nice savings on the Runeshapers too.

Well, it's a relatively small unit that makes up Runes of War, which is Doomy101, so that may have had something to do with it. And the EBDT is a great Dire I think, and shows up quite a lot in brick lists for its animus.

I've wanted a Dire Troll for some time, so it's great news for me.

Was planning on picking up some Gators this week, and I still will. Those new ones will be icing on the cake, especially with all my Mierce ones to play with them and intermingle!

Threw the pics of the new plastics in the first post. Also, nephelim bloodseer

I find this very amusing because I Hate the look of the Drudges and use Dark Eldar Wracks in place of mine because I find them to be a Much better sculpt.

Also, I'm super bummed that none of the new Cephalyx stuff will work in a Cryx army. Super bummed.

New Gators look great, apart from the dancing leader. If I get them, I think I'll pose him to be standing on a half-eaten corpse, or something.

Well, when I started doing it, it was still the previous book and the only option we had were these:

After having to assemble one, the EBDT needed to be plastic IMHO. I'm pretty sure I could put him in a sock and beat someone to death if I had to as well. Maybe the heaviest Warjack/Warbeast kit?

Unhappy to see the gorgeous EBDT go to plastic since I don't believe the new material will keep the texture.

Glad to see the runeshapers plastic with a price drop, since those models were just absurdly expensive in metal, and only okay looking.
