Plastic Storm Troll. Interesting....

Wow, 2 Mountain Kings. I envy your hobby budget!
But those are really well priced. For what I was expecting to pay for the MtK, it's like getting the Storm Troll for free...
Although, I will probably end up splitting the Hordes two player box too.
September is going to be a busy month of painting! ;D

They might even have the lightning troll at Gencon, and since the MtK was at Lock n Load it's a safe bet that he'll be there too.

Looks like a good month.
I'm not sure how I feel about the Storm being plastic, but I have a feeling once I hold it in my hands my concerns will vanish quickly. The Mountain King, while still unsure of its worth (in dollars per fun), will be a model I pick up at least just to have painted.
Guess it's time to start saving! Originally Posted by Celedor

He looks a bit larger than other plastics which might account for it, but he's also the same price as the Minuteman, which was a surprise in metal. Could go either way on this one, so probably plastic for now. Originally Posted by paspinall

I wholly expect him to be metal. I can just tell by looking at him that he is. It just...LOOKS like metal underneath that paint.

Looks can be deceiving. Alot of people assume I wear boxers because I don't have any brief lines showing on my behind. But I actually wear a thong. Originally Posted by Viper114

The Storm Troll is metal, not plastic.
Overall I love the new Storm Troll model. The only thing I don't like are those weird *** coral spongy looking things on his back. I'd remove those and use the Mauler fur instead. Also. a lot less lightning on him than I imagined, but I'd definitely see to convert it and add some lightning bolts in his hands like such:

It isn't the first time PP has said metal and retailers listings got it right. It has happened more than once. Originally Posted by somnicide

Clerical Error from Warstore. Honest mistake. Storm Troll will be metal and in a blister. Originally Posted by Jake the Dog

Last time this happened (it was either the Griffon or the Winter Argus, can't recall which) I said the same thing and everyone bombed me. In the end, I was proven right. Originally Posted by somnicide

Well, now I think it costs too much for a plastic. Double loss.

Hard to tell for sure, but it looks more sizable than a slag troll. Originally Posted by omerplata

True, I was just making a note for cost comparison. Hard to tell why the expense until the model is in hand though. I won't complain, I hope that this leads to some sort of plastic light kit for us in the future. The pyre seems to severely undersized compared to these guys. Size doesn't matter though when you spit fire on your hands and punch people in the face. Originally Posted by DogFog

Plastic Multi-Jack/Beast kits aren't likely to happen. PP has said that due to the cost of the extra bits, they would cost almost as much as Heavy kits and they rightfully thing that a light kit costing as much as a heavy kit is a tough sell to their costumers. Originally Posted by omerplata

Actually its $4 more than the Slag. Hope it hangs in there size-wise, I like the big lights. Originally Posted by omerplata
