Loki:
You could have them with armour that the chaos dwarfs might have given to them foe a service that they have done for them or have them with a big CD style beard 
Patrikson:
YES YES YES thats a Great Idea i love it also i could do them like a Grey,Black or a like lava red skin colour
Loki:
That sounds like a cool skin colour to me sort of a lava troll 
Patrikson:
Yea thats what im thinking of i see alot of Lava Bases and also Chaos Dwarves live in like a Lava/Charred or fiery Area i guess it would effect its Wildlife or Inhabitants
Loki:
and also there is any idea for your first bit of writing you could write about the lava trolls
Patrikson:
Yes! I will mate thanks! I could do like the Wildlife or other Races of the Dark lands!
Perturabo:
and also there is any idea for your first bit of writing you could write about the lava trollsI once wrote a whole list for a volcano/dark lands O&G Waaaagh, based on the fire kobold from the goblinoid species article that was in WD years ago. I did write some stuff for lava trolls, but I wasn't sure whether or not to include them, as fire stops them regenerating.

Patrikson:
Here i go
“In the Treachourus Dark lands lives a Different Variety of Trolls you may think they would be your Ordinary Stone trolls or your Twisted Chaos Trolls?..Well no your wrong! These are the Rare and Frightening Lava Trolls ((Also Known as Pyre Trolls to those not of the Dark lands)) These Monstrositys live in the Hotest Areas of the Dark lands that they can Swim in Lava and not Die due to thier Incrediably Tough Hide that Resembles the outside of a Volcano.Some people believe that these trolls are Indestructable…But they are wrong the Lava Troll weakspot is under there Jaw…That is why you dont see many for thier Weakspot is a Hole that can snagged on Rocks making them squeal and eventully Die if they do not Escape.The apearence of a Lava Troll looks somewhat like a Stone troll mixed with an Ogre due to thier Large Apearence.Thier skin colour can range from a Magma Red to Charred black but its not Uncommon to see a White skinned Lava troll…Lava trolls are known to have Intelligence and Anger of a Teenager which is why they are often seen as Mercenaries for Chaos Dwarves,Greenskins,Skaven or Ogres but mainly Chaos Dwarves…
Some things to beware of a Lava troll: Do not run from a Lava troll its will think you playing with it,Do not Anger it or you will Regret what you have done,If kept as a Pet and not Fed right may become Self Cannibalistic or eat its Owner and Do not think a Lava troll can be Tamed even if you do it would take a Decade”
What ya think mate?
Loki:

Patrikson:
I posted the Story i made into the Background forum
cornixt:
Maybe give them a ward save rather than regeneration.
Zanko:
Your story sounds interesting, I´m curious to read more! :hat off
I´m also curious how you will design/convert a Lava-Troll! :cheers
:hashut
Patrikson:
I know one thing Zanko its 'onna be hard 'Mate
Nicodemus:
I like the idea of trolls being more wild beast than a group that the Dawi Zharr would trade with. This is only my own thoughts on the subject, so take them as you will, but I imagine trolls as being more likely to be kept as slaves - albeit slaves that still act like wild savage beasts even after several decades of servitude. They’d probably be kept close to where they’re needed to work by huge heavy chains attached to rock at one end and a large iron ring at the other that is initially fed through the collar bone or breast bone of the troll and spot welded closed (how the Dawi Zharr do their spot welding I’m not sure)… but the picture would be dozens of subdued trolls covered in bruises, gashes and pieces of missing limbs, all too weak to fight, scores of exhausted Chaos Dwarf warriors crowded around them looking on, weary but proud, as the smithys are brought in and set to work looping chain and rings through the bones of the lava trolls. By the time the lava trolls have regenerated it’s too late, they’ve been moved to a slave pit and chained close to heavy machines or quarries where they will spend the rest of their lives toiling for the greater good of their new Master’s empire, all the while brutally driven on by only the meanest and toughest of the Dawi Zharr Pit Lords.
It’s unfortunate from a fantasy setting that all of our lava names are derived from Hawaiian language, and a troll covered in pahoehoe lava just doesn’t seem to fit. My guess would be that lava trolls are covered in something like a’a lava, which initially contains a high concentration of gas and is usually slow moving before it solidifies completely. Anyway, the a’a lava is the stuff that’s very sharp and jagged and you don’t want to go running bare skin over it, let alone engage in melee combat with a foe that’s covered in it as his natural armour!

Patrikson:
I like the way you think of my idea Nicodemus and you right about the A’a lava 
The Brain:
You could just use the rules for Stone Trolls. It makes sense the dark lands are surounded by mountains. They would also have a natureal resistence to magic being so close to the chaos dwarfs. I think stone trolls make a good fit they have an armour save and magic resistence.
Patrikson:
Thanks the Brain that is a Good idea i hadent thought of rules for them but i think the ones you said will do
