GW has posted a slideshow on Instagram showing size comparisons of a Night Goblin, Fellwater Troggoth, Rockgut Troggoth and the Dankhold Troggoth.

...there’s tiny little mushroom people running around on top of the ‘shroom spider...I might need to sell my car to raise all the funds I need for these.

I can totally imagine that troll smashing people with the big rock then rising it back over his head shaking it so bits of enemy drop down to feed the baby bird.

I like that they have strapped rocks to themselves as armor.
I also like that the terrain piece has a recycle mechanic for swarmy units. I always like that sort of mechanic as it allows an army to fulfill the horde role without the practical difficulties of assembling/painting/gaming with literally hundreds of models at once.
I was originally hyped for the release when we saw the first squig kits.
Now though? I'm selling off some armies on eBay to free up cash lol.
Love all the little details and extra character they added to these guys.
Nice to see they kept an amusing vibe rather than trying to make them look serious.
I need all of these kits in my life now, there isn't a single model so far that I dislike.
Just hoping skarsnik gets a rework (the forecast model is a monstrosity)

I was really worried that GW would redesign the Rock Trolls into something unrecognisable, especially when you look at the cartoonish nonsense that is this miniature.
Thank both Gork & Mork that the new Trolls look the way they do. They're fantastic, IMO. Shame that those are 100% going to be the only possible poses/weapon combos, but the aesthetics are gorgeous (in a hideous kinda way).
I gotta say that this new Goblin release has been basically one hit after another. Some of the Gobbopalloza minis aren't my favs (though I love the Shaman with the spiral eyes - he's great!), but this is just a fantastic and inspired re-do of Squigs, and everything is in plastic. And I can stop trying to find the Warhammer starterset Rock Troll, as these new ones will do just fine for Quest.
And... Alpharius is back!

The only part that really grates on me is how the basic fungi on every model are just cut and pasted on. They don't blend onto the model at all, just a cylindrical stem attached against a rounded surface, rather than a join where it looks like they are growing there. Especially on the big guys like the Shadespire troll it's just hideously obvious to me.

Actually I kind of like the troll above. Can you buy him on the GW site? He would look good as a rock troll leader.
It's this Dankhold Troggoth that was in your link to the Age of Sigmar Facebok page. Mollog's Mob was revealed at Spiel 2018 back around Halloween.
I'd venture to say that Mollog is going to be too small to be a substitute for the Dankhold Troggoth but all of the Underworlds kits come with warscrolls for use in Age of Sigmar.

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.

Considering Shadespire's Nightvault is described as part prison and part laboratory, that's more then enough reason why Mollog might not be as big as a normal Dankhold Troggoth.
