Mantic Put Some Trolls Under Your Kings Of War Bridges
May 18, 2013 by brennon
You might have spied them during Justin's awesome run down of the Mantic Open Day but here are some close up images of the new Trolls for Kings of War!
These burly brutes are looking pretty awesome and I wouldn't want to come up against them in a fight. They are going to be available in June (not long to go!) and come as a set of three for both Orc and Goblin armies.
As Mr Renton said in the video from Thursday the summer is going to be Kings of War mad and Mantic have a lot to show us, including more on the Undead and of course those delicious looking Paladins.
Will you be adding Trolls to your collection?

Those are rather interesting looking trolls.
Those little biddy legs and those gurt big upper bodies.
The lower part are surely for some 15mm sculpts.
They look more Ogre than Troll to me. I know what @chibi is talking about the legs but I have to admit that they have warmed up to me. They remind me of the Mr. Hyde from the league of extraordinary gentlemen. He had this exact type of build.
Over here, before the days of online shopping, we used to have an advert for Yellow Pages that said, “Let your fingers do the walking.” ie Flick through the business telephone directory and phone rather than trudge round the shops.
These guys have bigger fingers than they have legs. 😛
They might be sports fans that took the foam #1 hand to a entire new level?
lol They look like they are foaming at the mouth!
Sort of reminds me of the Tank from Left 4 Dead.
I love them! 😀
So,…. when these chaps were just wee design pictures, “everyone” pointed out how ‘tarded/stupid the small legs were, and how absurd they look.
And Mantic (out of character mind) just ignored it all….
~(still love em!)
gotta give mantic alot of credit here, they had an idea and not only stuck to it but made it work.
like that middle troll with the two handed stone ax looks awesome hey
Hellooooooo new Grotesques! 😀
i like em ,i can imagine them using their arms more than their legs ,using them to walk and climb mountainsides .
sort of like orangutangs.
Orangutans have legs that are strong enough to support their weight, and developed for an life in the trees. The legs are still about 1/3 of the body length,
These trolls legs are useless. There is no way they would be able to stand. Not much use to have knuckles on the ground wielding two handed weapons or having two weapons.
