I must say I do like them all. I dont like the red nose thing but thats just a painting option. I hope the troll isnt metal either, but I am glad it looks the way it does because it will actually work with the BFSP one that so many armies sport now.

I like the troll; I think it fits more in line with the whole look that GW is going for.
Don't much care for that Squig though...

@Warwolt:
If you think that I'm like that, then so be it... I'm not that negative about Games Workshop, there are just some 'things' they produce that I'm not a fan of and yes, the new troll is indeed one of them. But hey, as long as my opinion doesn't affect the sales numbers of those products, who gives a bit about my ranting? ;)

lol I think he was talking about the current troll models, because that one in the previews definately isnt out yet! It will probably come out around the Nemesis Crown campaign with the Black Orcs...

Yep, that would be Gorbad Ironclaw. The model is in the O&G army book and a guy in my local GW said he would be coming out along with the Black Orcs and stuff. The Runefang he has on his shield/trophy rack is the Solland Runefang, from an Empire province he destroyed years ago (I have both the new Empire and O&G books, so I know whats going on :P )

Oh my! Those Black Orcs are the sex! I must get my hands on some, I don't care that I don't play O&G! Maybe they could be used as Grave Guard..? ^_^

Those Black Orcs look even better than the last ones! Im thinking I should expand my 'Ard Boyz list just in order to fit 3 squads into it!

@ Lord Lughtigern: I wouldnt use them as Grave Guard, just because they are on larger bases. Start a SoC 'Ard Boyz list, then you can field an all Black Orc army!! :lol:

Having a look at the Black Orcs remind me of our own Stormvermin. Wish that's in plastic too.....

I agree with some earlier posts that the new trolls look like a ripoff from LOTR, but it does fit better with the dark, gothic world Warhammer is. The stupid looking stone troll looks, well, stupid according to their rule, but it just look too comical.
