As of most of the time, this is my brothers.
The Troll has a special Troll helmet. What I mean is the Dwarve's Mine's Trolls had Evil Skeleton helmets, so this is rare even for a Troll.

This is a pretty cool set for an impulse set. It comes with a troll (or an orc, which ever one you prefer..), a rat, and a missile wagon. The wagon is a pretty good design. It has a flick-fire launcher which I can't get enough of! It has 2 spears on the sides and it has a piece where the troll\orc can hold the wagon. The wagon has a bunch of good pieces for customization.The orc \troll is really cool. It has a neat helmet, good torso designs, brown and grey colored legs, and an oversized sword which is awesome.

Pros: 1.Awesome troll\orc
2.Neat wagon with good pieces
3.A little rat
4.Set is affordable for anyone

Cons: None, really

Troll warrior

Plus+
It has a troll with a sword who doesn't have the strange helmet of the Dwarves mine or a common bronze sword. It comes with a rat which will be great if it comes in almost every troll set. I like how the rat's tail curves around Lego studs. The catapult is good and has spears attached to the sides of it.

Minus-
The catapult has a too high angle of incline and shoots over targets. The flick fire system only works by flicking, pushing sends it ground-ward. He could come with a shield but that would add to the cost or remove an item from the set to keep it at the same price. It only comes with the shown one ammo.

Equals=
Yet again Lego have pulled off a good impulse set with good value for money, new pieces (or special ones), and great playability.

Compatibility
This set goes great as a backup to any heavy troll artillery. Two fit inside the Troll warship and it goes great there. A truly great attachment or impulse set.

The 2008 Castle lineup has a good amount of impulse sets, which are very nice to either lure someone into the Castle theme or just to build up one's army, whether that army fights for the forces of good or evil.

Troll Warrior is actually not that bad of an impulse set, to say the least. Time to break it down:

This set comes packaged with a troll with the standard printed torso. I would've preferred a more unique print, but it does the job. He is armed with his pearl silver sword and the silver-speckled helmet. Definitely nothing new here, but without this set, building up a troll army would become rather costly.

Next up is the rat. His height comes up to a minifig's thighs and his body is as long as two minifig legs. His tail is a squiggle that looks to be the same size as the length of his body. His face is fairly detailed, containing a snout, two eyes, and two pointed ears that end up making him look adorable. Too bad trolls eat rats for dinner...

Onto the ballista type siege weapon, which seem to have invaded and conquered the Castle theme as ballistic type weapons are everywhere. It contains two ordinary wagon wheels, two spears that clip at the sides, and the newer flick-fire missile that doesn't fall out on its own. I would've liked the wheels to be about 66% of the current size to create a better proportion as this is a one manned mobile siege weapon after all.

No significant pieces are included other than the troll and rat. If LEGO included one of the rectangle troll shields, this set would be amazing.

Still, I feel this set is definitely worth picking up at least one of as it contains the basics and having another troll and rat are always welcomed additions.
