Oh I really like those trolls, and I like that their skin tones vary from yellow-ish to more "realistic" colours. Also, I think that the painting style fits the sculpts very well. Now I feel tempted to buy some of those in the future

I partially drew inspiration from the art of John Bauer (http://artpassions.net/bauer/bauer.html) but with a little more color variation. I still wanted an oldschool miniatures look to compliment the figures.

Got to say, I'm in the same boat, KOW does appear to be where most of my local clubs are going for large scale Fantasy these days, and for the most part I have to agree for a large tactical game it's a reasonable game of chess, IMO. Which I'm willing to indulge in, to insure I'm playing with my toys.

May invest in a few of those Trolls myself, very nice sir - now, who's are they?

There'd be something to see an army of Snotlings & Trolls, who'd lead?
