Troll Chess Set

Post by nanuck95 »

I thought it would be fun to use all the new troll figures in a chess set. Unfortunately things have been pretty busy so I didn't have time to make a full set, so I just did one of each figure. I'm not crazy about all of them, the knight is supposed to be a troll bat-rider, which I may still try to tweak a bit if I have some time. The Flickr set has two pictures of each so you can see them at another angle. Enjoy!

Great Chess pieces! My favorite has to be the King and Queen. Although, I'm with Kevin1900, I'm not quite sure what the knight is. I think I see something behind it... :raiseone:

If you check the pictures on Flickr, I posted shots from the side. The knight is supposed to be a troll riding a giant bat, you can see him a little better in this picture: Link

It was not my favorite piece either, as I mentioned, I may still tweak it some if I have time.

Thanks for the replies!

Ah, that picture of the bat you just linked is indeed much more clear in showing what it is ;)
These are really cool, that queen is my favourite with that staff.

Now you have to make a dwarf side as well, to face these guys in chess ;)

Cool beans man. The bat is a really neat idea, something very fresh, which is something I crave, as the trolls have gone a bit stale as late. It could perhaps be reworked better, but it's fresh, so that's good.

Nice work. I think the queen is great. I love the dwarf head on a stick. Very good for a troll faction of any nature!

Just wanted to chime in and say I also really like the queen piece. I may have to borrow her staff for one of my troll warlords!

I would like to see them all laid out but I understand quantity restrictions.
