[@SIGNOR-G]

Like the dragons, trolls too are very interesting in the warhammer world.
Also YES (although maybe you should do an abridged version)

[@jasonsantos3037]

Well Sina go troll hunting you know you should make a playlist as the monsters of warhammer fantasy

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I thought about that, but it turns out there aren't that many monsters with lots of lore on them. The ones that are I already cover as part of the various factions armies.

[@silvertemplar8061]

Dude you an underrated channel that always looks at the lesser known elements of Warhammer Fantasy and 40k and interesting smaller details. Plus that opening depending on the topic of the video (ex: Runnaway nobles from the Freeblade video) is just the icing on the cake. Keep up the great work man, and Merry Christmas. 🎄😀👍

[@georgesulea]

Agreed!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Learned that type of opening from another youtuber long ago, but i always try to make it thematic. I'm glad you like it :)

[@Da5hau]

Also agree, you have a diverse channel and I like the variations. I may not watch all the sections I have no interest in, but then again I have, so well done.

[@Daimon-X]

Trolls are big, stupid and stink. But a resourceful Dawi can cook a delicious dish from trolls meat, called "Kulgrik"{Kulgur: The art of cooking Troll}
"Skanir lowered himself from the cart and staggered towards the cauldron. There could be no question, his nose hadn’t betrayed him. He looked up at Theodo on his stool, Skanir’s face a mixture of respect and shock.
“Surely that isn’t kulgrik I smell?” he finally asked.
The halfling diverted his attention away from the boiling cauldron, smiling down at the dwarf.
“I am pleased to have my talents appreciated,” Theodo beamed, “especially by one of the mountain folk. After all, your people invented the art of kulgur, though there are terribly few who appreciate the culinary discipline outside the mountain halls.” Theodo gestured towards the tents around them.
“I fear that troll meat will never catch on with the Empire.”
Skanir grinned beneath his beard. “Just as well,” he said. “It’s a hard enough delicacy to come by as it is, and not to be squandered on those who don’t appreciate it.”
Theodo hopped down from his stool, wringing his hands in the folds of his apron.
“You’ll join me then? Good, I was despairing of eating it all by myself and… well, troll doesn’t agree with ogres. Gives them gas, you know.”
The dwarf glanced aside to where Ghrum sat. The ogre had removed the head from the carcass and was staring contemplatively into the glassy eyes of the ox while gnawing at a rib bone.
“More for us, then,” Skanir said. Theodo hurried back to the cart, pulling a pair of plates from a small box fixed to the side.
“Quite so, quite so,” the halfling agreed. His eyes lit up as he saw Skanir produce a small silver knife and fork from a pouch on his belt, fixating for a moment on the elaborate workmanship of the cutlery, his mind turning over a mental list of silversmiths and money lenders who might be interested in such bric-a-brac. Theodo shook himself from his avaricious stupor. “It would seem such a shame to waste any more of it. I had to leave most of the troll behind in the village, but I made sure to carve off the flanks and thighs. Even the best cuts, however, would be a bit much to manage on my own, and, of course, one can’t let troll meat sit uncooked for too long.” Skanir nodded, appreciating the slight shudder that went through Theodo. The regenerative properties of troll flesh were legendary and never to be underestimated. There were many stories of dwarf chefs who returned to their larders to fetch a chunk of troll meat only to be confronted by a furious, fully regenerated troll...'

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@peterwall8191]

A! You have to ask? Lets hear what da boyz in this verse get up to.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks for the vote.

[@jpthespacemarine]

Yes yes! Lore on the green skins!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks JP :)

[@stuartmurdock2873]

I think he’s talking skaven. Ether that or your very enthusiastic 😂

[@georgesulea]

Ah Trolls...my cousins!!! And Yes, love to see info on the greenskins:)

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks. Hope all is well with you :)

[@JustSomeDude42]

No troll king for the chaos trolls? The smartest troll ever? Not a lot of competition but you get the idea. A troll with even the average intelligence of a warhammer fantasy man is deadly enough.

[@Diarmuhnd]

I made a massive Chaos Troll army in the Warsword Conquest Winds of Magic mod for M&B: Warband. It was so much fun , bugs and all , thanks for the memberberries.
*Stay safe and have fun.* edit: A , the unique / fun stuff. :)

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Glad to hear it :)

[@brayanfisk8769]

This trolls are like starfish

[@alexandermacdonald912]

Yes, more greenskins. There is enough unique stuff in this setting imo to make them interesting

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I mostly agree :)

[@stuartmurdock2873]

Love it. I never heard of the lava trolls 😱 would like to hear your views on the greenskinz especially what you think about the forest gobbos. Maybe something about the troll hags too.
My the blessings of Sigmar and ulrik be upon you mr grimdark

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Oh, greenskins videos are coming.

[@DarkMegaPlague]

total warhammer norsca troll faction with trogg needs some love,, like give norsca a troll leader cause it feels weird to have a human taking orders from Trogg himself XD, and there are so many new troll units in the greenskin faction its just mindblowing that they havent put them on norsca faction by now.... except the use of mods ofc

[@akumaking1]

2 things:
Throgg could probably rally all trolls
Would Grom the Paunch be considered part-troll?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Well he is half troll i believe.

[@TheRadude]

I hope Bile Trolls are part of the Nurgle roster for Total War Warhammer 3

[@xXArcadianXx]

Yes would love to see more Greenskins lore

[@samuelrodriguez9801]

What about the other vaguely mentioned sub-species, Sea Trolls?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Either i missed it or there was very little info.

[@samuelrodriguez9801]

@@GrimDarkNarrator well, apparently they live in the oceans of the world.

[@systemhalodark]

You forgot the Khil Trolls, the one always singing when they are glad to come home ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

[@reforgedrole-playinggames1035]

Maybe a green skin overview, focusing on the difference between fantasy and 40k? Then on to famous hero's and units

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

That sounds like a good idea. Some of the differences might make for an interesting video.

Hello TH-cam algorithm. An what are they good for?

[@donright4492]

As Lance was hanging by the hair
his face was swollen as his right
eye was only one he could see through his body swayed around back and forth
Then out the darkness a Shadow appears out of the darkness of the cave he had long flowing black hair and eyes that pierced through the souls of men his armor was black
As his long dark flowing cloak pull itself along the cavern floor
Then he got into view of Lance
as he replied why do you keep defying me Lance I have given
you everything you needed
Then Lance replied back with
blood drawing out of his mouth
you promised me that none of
the women and children would
be used in your war and what's worse you use there dead bodies
and their spirits to bring forth doom on the empire how can I continue to serve you if you break your word to me
Then hazy shadow replied back
Un amused you serve me quite
well Lance even though you will never attempt to take my life
You sabotage most of my plans against the empire And now you're being punished you just lucky you're not in a coffin down in the basement locked away upside down for eternity
Then a beast like voice erupted Out of the Caverns darkness replied
Vlad you should at least show him
a little respect for he put up a very good fight before I bashed him
into the wall repeatedly and it's not too often I use my own arm to beat someone half to death after they cut it off
Then Vlad smiled sinisterly looking at the arm that was previously severed now holding Lance's long brown reddish hair as he was holding chain ball by the chain
As Lance fine black leathery clothes ripped open as there was a huge claw Mark slowly healing on his chest
Then Vlad lean down towards Lance's before we go back to Castle
Drakenhof do remember to tread lightly for Beldonna stays with Isabella presents she may love
her like a granddaughter but sometimes in the wild the Cubs
are always the first ones to go
by the cruelty of the wild and
do remember you're oath
Then Lance close his one eye
Very well Vlad you made your
point al no longer resist you if
you promise not to hurt them I will comply but if you so much touch one of them you will not have
Throgg at your side on the field
of battle and maybe I won't use
my sword next time in one of our next heat discussions
Then Throgg huge fist hit Lance in the face as teeth scattered amongst the floor with blood then Lance's head swung back and forth before he passed out
Throgg would you put Lance within my coach and be a little gentle
I think we Now understand each other then throgg swung Lance
By the hair over his shoulder like
a pack as Vlad and Throgg left
the cavern with Lance's broken
body

[@JZ0UK]

Unless you have a good stash of weirder bits of Greenskin lore which don't really overlap with 40k then maybe they should be a lower priority? :)

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

It's why i waited this long to even consider getting into it.
