A Closer Look At Ragnarok’s Trollheim Kickstarter Miniatures!
August 28, 2024 by brennon
Colin of Ragnarok Miniatures has previewed more miniatures coming to the Trollheim Kickstarter, which will be live next week! See what you make of these excellent Norse-inspired Trolls for use in your 28mm Fantasy wargames.
Rukkers // Ragnarok Miniatures
A good mixture of different miniatures will be available during the campaign. You're going to be able to pick up Trolls that would fit into your Norse-themed adventures on the tabletop but also others that would slot in really nicely with Tolkienesque adventures on the tabletop. They have a classic Fantasy look which should mean they work with a lot of other Fantasy ranges out there.

As you can see, there are some unarmoured Trolls with a mixture of hammers and spears as well as their hide shields that they have fashioned. If you want to go a little more fearsome, you can also pick up the Stahlsons who come in heavy armour.
Stahlsons // Ragnarok Miniatures
You'll note some inspiration from the work by Angus McBride in the collection which sets off those nostalgia sensors. I could see those armoured Stahlsons smashing their way through the gates of Minas Tirith, crashing into terrified ranks of Gondorian defenders.
For those wanting a more classically Norse vibe to their Trolls, you can also pick up the Pinebutts.

These fellows look like they have been pulled from Norse mythology. I like the big ears which give them a more fey appearance. You could also see these hunting down Trollhunters in the modern day. Make sure you take off that crucifix.
Ragnarok 8: Trollheim will be live as a Kickstarter campaign next week. Do you have a set that you'll be snapping up after seeing this preview? Don't forget to also check out more from the Ragnarok Miniatures range on the Gripping Beast website.

they do look nice.
Trolls to my pile of opportunity is like coals to Newcastle but heck they’re nice.
Those are really fantastic!
As somone said elsewhere before – now I’d really like to create a non-Jackson more old school, maybe heavily Angus McBride inspired, LotR force.
Or five, honestly.
A fine looking group of sculpts. I’d pick up the Pinebutts, not only for the name, as it would break into what might be described as whimsy.
someone needs to tell these folk that “rukker” is Dutch for what the British would call a “wanker” 😉
the models do look good
Is too true that things don’t translate!
“Dogging it” means being lazy in Canadian Army parlance.
It means something rather different in the UK
