One of my favorite units from back in the day was none other than the Trollkin Champions. I remember running two max units and cleaving through my foes game after game! They were such a fun unit to play with and paint, that it only made sense to start my new adventure with these lovable berzerkers!
The Trollkin Champions are assembled and ready for paint!
Overall, the unit went together pretty easily. I forgot what it had been like to work with Privateer Press' resin kits and while they're not bad by any means, they are starting to show some age within the industry standard. My only real complaints were the strange mold lines within hard to reach or high detailed places. Nonetheless, I managed to get them cleaned up and assembled!
I also did a few headswaps between bodies in order to show more variety. If there is one thing I don't like it, models looking exactly like other models! Every warrior in my army needs to look unique!
Above you can see an early mockup of my basing that I plan on doing for my Trollbloods. I'm not entirely certain where I am going with this or where I will eventually end up, but it's going to be fun either way!
I achieved the looks of the bases by getting a giant ass bag of Pine Bark Nuggets from my local Lowes. I then took some Vallejo Pumice and filled in the blank areas of the base. I plugged in some random rocks, scattered some sand randomly, and then buried a human skull into one of them.
I am still debating between a luscious rocky grassland theme, northern snow theme, or wasteland them. I really want my army to pop this time around. I may not win many games, but I plan to turn some head! :)
