I think making River Trolls markedly better than any other variety kind of jacked the chances of viable basic Troll or Stone Troll boxed sets from every happening. I personally think that River Trolls and Stone Trolls should have basically small negative penalties to the common Troll stat to make up for their abilities. Make Stone Trolls tougher, but way slower instead of Magic Resistant. Make River Trolls have a lower WS and Toughness due to the nature of the slime, including poor grip on weapons, footing, etc.
Basic troll were superior. They were cheaper and kept the core rules that made trolls so effective. Stone and River trolls had gimic bonus rules. Stone trolls magic resistence was useful but didn't matter much as wizards would target something else, River trolls rules are situational.
The price upgrade savings of basic trolls were significant over the course of building a sizable unit. Often enough for something notable like an extra rok lobber or chariot.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
Not just for 9th Age then, these are IMHO better than GW trolls. Move over Sourbreath Troggoths.
I want these for 6th and 8th WHFB. I might make a Throgg's horde army.
