Orcs

Issue no1. The only 40mm size Orcs that I have found are the old Combat Hex range long defunct. These appear on eBay fairly regularly.

My youngest son found some while clearing out his room so I repainted one to see how it would come up. I have added a photo below of the end result alongside a Games Workshop goblin for size comparison.

Not bad. So I bought some more on eBay. The main issues with these figures are the limited range of poses, the soft bendy plastic, and they are based on the LOTR films. I liked the films and the orcs were great, but I wanted to get away from that look. For the moment though, they will do nicely.

I have another photo below of a size comparison with a Fighting 15s 40mm Romano-British figure. I think the Orcs come out about right, not quite human sized.
