January 2012 was Troll Month over on Alternative Armies. Its intent was to introduce the brand new race of Trolkin to the World of Valon, setting of Flintloque. It went rather swimmingly truth be told.
The release of Trolkin Line (Lergo Line) in six poses along with a great limited edition pack LE045 Bange & Oafson set the ‘little trolls’ off to a flying start. A Trolkin is the little cousin of the massive Trolka, biggest soldier in the Mordredian Wars, but each miniature still stands 30mm tall making them bigger then High Elves. Above you can see the Trolkin, they are all on their own page at Trolkin.
A big part of Troll Month was the release of the free PDF download booklet that provides a whole background, formations, characters, profiles, scenario for the Trolls. This free booklet was downloaded over four hundred times in two weeks and by the feedback I have read made a lot of players rather happy. You can get your hands on the booklet by clicking on the image above or going to this page on the Alternative Armies website.
Lastly the sculptor who took the Trolkin into white metal life, Rob Alderman, has posted a couple of videos in which he explains his own way of painting up Trolkin. This is a really nice video and well worth a watch.
Enjoy!
