TROLL ENTHUSIAST THREAD

[Kyrbi0]

...do you know if there's a troll enthusiast thread?

THERE IS NOW


Come one, come all, to the greatest Troll appreciation thread this side of Azeroth.

Post pictures, monologues, videos, memes, whatever: as long as it points to TROLL RACE AS MASTER-RACE.
(also, while inter-tribal conflict is part of the fun, please remember this is a for-fun thread & not a srs debate thread & it's all subjective, Jungle Trolls aren't necessarily the best Troll race)

Hidden

(they totally are but I legally have to put that disclaimer xD)

To kick things off:

Power of da bonez

[Kyrbi0]

Not technically a Troll but I'll allow it, since it's so obviously related/inspired by. ; )

 

[A]mun]

You take that back!

I know my trolls (have played/experienced their grandeur since warcraft2 and over wc3 - world of warcraft - dota1-dota2).

Warcraft III - Orcs -> Units -> Witch Doctor
Vol'Jin - Witch Doctor, Skills, Item Builds | DotA Builds

 

[Wayshan]

My favourite troll that exceeds boundaries of Azeroth!

 

[Kyrbi0]

How could we have forgotten how great Trolls are.

I think this speaks for itself:

Don't Feed The Trolls

-Don't Feed The Trolls- Trolls of all shapes and sizes emerge from their mother’s basements to engage in this chaotic rumble of the ages. Test your wit, cynicism and repressed psychological pathologies against your enemies and allies alike, and send them running to their safe spaces. This...

Feeding the Trolls and feeding this thread with Trolls, may or may not be two different things.



Troll enthusiasts are encouraged to visit Ivar Rødningen's web site, as he is one of the greatest fantasy illustrators when it comes to drawing Trolls. I myself own a physical copy of the French edition of Trollturen (French: La Chasse aux Trolls), which I believe to be a rarity (and therefore maybe a collectible) in France.

Official web site and gallery:

Ivar's Site 2

Welcome to see Norwegian trolls, small scale humorous sculpture, handmade photograpic and sculpted illustration and Norwegian folklore. Yoy may also be intererested to meet Scandinavian Christmas gnomes, look at high quality stop motion animation for children? But first and last. enjoy...

looks like a lotr dwarf and a lotr ent had a baby....

It is because they are not high fantasy trolls as the Warcraft player may envision them. Those are truer to myths, legends, and very presumably the Norwegian folklore.

how did blizzard get from that to blue skinned Jamaicans with tusks?

how did blizzard get from that to blue skinned Jamaicans with tusks?

Guess Blizzard took inspiration from the blue trolls from Warhammer, heck, Blizzard used to take a lot of inspiration from warhammer for WC1 to WC3 (and i think they're taking inspiration from Age of Sigmar / Shadespire for Shadowlands too XD)

How did Blizzard get to blue skinned Jamaicans with tusks, from a yellow skinned powerhouse with two metal pounders? (according to Jack Kirby)

Sen'Jin Re-Reforged

SEN'JIN RE-REFORGED Custom Sen'Jin model. Since Reforged was lacking Sen'Jin, but has a Vol'Jin model, I decided to edit the original Vol'Jin model and textures to create Sen'Jin. The model was developed for Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged. I think the model is quite unique and has a lot of charisma...

Dire troll (5 variations)

A model made with Retera Model Studio, from the basic troll model with more bestial animations. The model only "talks" when selecting a voiceset of a non-speaking critter. The slam spell fits well this model. Five variations are available : - Forest - Jungle - Dark - Ice - Albinos Lore : A...

Sandfury troll (Farraki)

There are no farrakis in Warcraft 3 for some reason, so I decided to create the set. Once I get them done, I'll make a bundle (Yeah, I know, I also have vrykuls and infinite dragons pending, but these guys are more fun). This is a Sandfury mage, Tier 2 unit. Apparently everything works fine...

Lol! Guess I'm not the only one to think of that. : )

Troll Tiki Hero

While I don't particularly care about Reforged models, I gotta say that 'bladed shield' thing looks heckin' cool.
