Kwaliti:
The animations seem a bit funky but it's nevertheless a useful model.

Forest Troll Pillager
Another Forest Troll, for a race I'm currently calling the 'Wildland Alliance'. Acting as the Footsoldier for this group, the Pillager has pilfered his armor from corpses and caravans, scavenging the very best of what he could find.
Essentially, the Pillager is mainly a one-on-one fighter, able to be upgraded to do slight AOE damage on hit, and activate a temporary armor boost. With their massive swords, the Pillagers are a force to be reckoned with when confronted on the battlefield.
Feel free to use or edit this model as much as you like, so long as I'm given credit for my work.

Nice, but he could be taller to look more like a troll.

This guy looks more like an orc, trolls are generally skinnier, taller, have diffrent faces and longer ears. It looks nice though.

I'm actually trying to keep that in mind. Different unit types will have different builds. The grunts are going to be bulkier and slower, generally. Dedicated casters will be more tall and lanky, much more typical of trolls.

I think you should mis-match the armour more to make it seem more like it's pillaged.

Good model. 4/5 from me, I like the TC blade 
Just the shield which I recommend you to re-work with it (it's FLAT).

I think the armor is too bright. You should do a material "blend" with some dark texture like a rock or something so that it can still look pretty much the same, except darker and worn down.

Very interesting idea; a basic 'Footman'-type unit that has scavenged armor.
I really like how you work with custom animations; while many modellers can get pretty creative mixing & matching animation sets, you ultimately see the same thing again and again. This guy really catches my interest in that way.
(I especially love Death, Attack-Slam, and that sweet Spell anim; that could seriously make a cool "Jumping" spell for this guy (just like the AoM Egyptian Anubites)
I'm a little off-put by his proportions (I get what you're saying about "cultural/class-based dimorphism", and I respect that, but it's a little weird to use), and the armor... Meh, I guess it's a personal choice. It seems a little too nice/shiny/uniform to be "scavenged armor"; perhaps messier/broken armor, and/or a variety of types (some leather, some chainmail, some plate; definitely some asymmetry).
Neat flavor text; it's the little touches that count.

I concur with Em!'s evaluation. I really like the concept it adds some diversity to trolls but I can't use it as long as it is impossible to click units to attack or to patrol on these models >.<

I didn't know what to make a Forest Troll wearing human gear until recently. Well done!!
