The suggestions on Trolls seem excellent to me if the trolls are in a DnD based campaign. 
Tolkien-based trolls are different,though.They turn to stone in direct sunlight,for starters. They are much bigger than
Men or Orcs. Their skin is 'stony'.  They are almost unbelievably stupid.
I'd suggest treating a stand of trolls as if it were average elephants.

Tolkiens `natural` Trolls?

Tribal (or worse!) maybe one extra colour over and above tribal to do anything, Loose, Heavily Armoured, Average, fight as Elephants?

Mordor Trolls, ordinary tribal otherwise as above plus Shield Cover?

Thoughts?

Sorry, I meant to add Shove and Shatter but not DC as this will allow them to charge too easily.

Sounds good.  I am going to start doing its own QRS for fantasy so we having had the analogies to elephants for initial ease they can have their won characteristics.
