    Your troll is an awesome centerpiece for your Isengard army. As I said on Insta, I like to see your army growing. There are some nice ideas for creating the nmm. I like heavily watered down skrag brown for rust a bit more than mornfang brown. In the end I'm very happy you created very good content again 👌
