I have some D&D prepainted plastic trolls, but size and style wise they are all over the map. Who else makes good trolls?

Edit: I guess I should add I lean more towards the D&D troll from the monster manual.

Cheers, Xin

Otherworld, hands down.

Garand20 Sep 2013 12:29 p.m. PST

Another vote for otherworld. Also the arms/heads are interchangable between kits, so I am lead to believe. So if there are not enough poses for you, crosskit for more variety!

This has always been one of my favorite sculpts, unfortunately no longer available:

Another vote for Otherworld. I am also partial to the old Grenadier trolls and half-giants, now sold by Mirliton: link

The absolute best Trolls were the Fantasy Tribe Trolls from Citadel in the 1980s.

I like the old GW ones, kinda mean, kinda funny… lots of character.

Black Cavalier20 Sep 2013 4:32 p.m. PST

For a different, more bulky look, but probably not too D&D-like, there's the trolls from Old Glory's Ghost line

I really like this Northstar one, mainly because it's based on Norse mythology.

Reaper's moor troll is pretty cool

Thanks guys. I thought OW would have one, but didn't see it on their site today.

Cheers, Xin

Not available yet as the Kickstarter only recently finished but the trolls from Warploque look great


(one on the right of the picture was in mid-sculpt)

Will be available from the guys that did this: link

The same two trolls, just two different places to buy them on either side of the pond…

OK, not the D&D style "Barry Manitroll" with the big nose, but just for completeness' sake,

Gamezone trolls.

I like the Ral Partha Fantasy Armies trolls myself. RalPartha Europe has the full range while Iron Wind Metals only has three and two of those only come in 12 packs.

They're a little more advanced than the usual D&D troll being armed with weapons and all but they're still ropey and long nosed.

I'm partial to the 1990s Citadel Stone Trolls. They're apparently still for sale:

There's multiple poses, see here:
