Yeah, looks mainly like an arm and head swap, as well as some details like his back bits and crushing a centipede instead of holding the hammer and all that. I think I much prefer the composition of the normal one's pose more, I'm not a big fan of this alternate build. Luckily I'm gunna use something else as da boss so I'll be happy building him as a normal Dank Meem Troll

The arm that is held low on both models is identical (looking at the barnacles / etc) so I guess the joint is either at the wrist or the weapon itself?
The other arm is interesting because the shoulder barnacles are different - I can't tell if it's the same arm just assembled differently, or a different arm, and where the shoulder joint is...

The Troggboss can break unit coherency with his Crushing Grip. Excellent fluff there.

I do not like the style of the trolls at all. And yeah, the thumb phasing through the fingers looks really bad. I don't know how that made it into production like that. Seems really sloppy.

I can't wait for the plethora of mushrooms to hit all the bits sellers.
Fungus! Fungus as far as the eye can see!
Not a huge fan of the tiny torso/ elongated limbs look, but the big troll is still pretty cool.
They're such a fantasy staple I imagine even if I don't use a pure Goblin force in Sigmar I can get a lot of traction out of this release!

The thumb isn't passing through the fingers - it's just got big, swollen knuckles. Look at the other fingers. The thumb is sitting in the groove formed by the knuckles.

Confirmed box of 10 squig hoppers from GW Website
This set builds 10 Squig Hoppers or 10 Boingrot Bounderz, and includes a huge variety of options for customisation. Heads, weapons, riders and squigs are all interchangeable, meaning that no two models need look alike, even in the hugest of hordes.
This kit is supplied in 140 components and contains 10 x 32mm round bases.

Very good to hear.
On the rules preview front, the faction looks like an absolute powerhouse, depending on points costs of course.
It will be interesting to see how hard they made it to separate the Mangler Squigs, as I'm sure it was actually part of the design brief to make it harder than it needs to be.

Given you can pose them in two different ways it's probably very easy.

Based upon regional equivalencies, it would appear that the AUD$ prices will be somewhere around:
Terrain piece AUD$98
The Squig Herd AUD$78
Squig Riders AUD$84
Fanatics AUD$70
And I cannot tell if the regular Night Goblin unit prices have gone up or just have 50% more people.

At the wrist.
The hand is different in detailing.
The right arm, perhaps two different arms entirely yeah.
Maybe even a third right option, or a second left arm.
Though likely just at the wrists for them too..

Squig herd got a slight nurf(?) by the look of it. 2 attacks, but no d3 dmg anymore. And the Squig herders got a nurf as they no longer buff the unit as much but got a buff to be hidden within the unit. I think I prefer them to how they were, works with the logic of the bounders too, doing the same attacks instead of being different.

I liked that touch a lot as well, a sort of "boomerang" or U-shaped damage profile. If I'm trying to guess their intention it was to give it a sort of "berserk frenzy" death. The idea of a "reversed" damage profile has been sorta under-explored up to this point, but it adds some interesting possibilities

It's great that there are 10 squig riders in the box. I lost the bet on that. Is it $50 USD a box, though?

The command ability changed (used to be mortal wounds on a 5 within 8"), morale buff on Arachnarok is new, shaman on foot is new (wasn't an option before), more attacks on the spears and bows on the aracknarok, the Flinger rules have changed, off the top of my head.
