Orcs?

[Antioch]

Far from a regular here on the forum, but suprised there isn't a Pendraken 10mm Orc range. I am sure there is history here somewhere but haven't been able to find anything. I admit I haven't looked in on the Warband rules to see if they are included in there... (which maybe a reason they aren't)

I imagine Leon's to do list is vast & extensive...but maybe??

We used to have a range of Orcs but they were really 15mm figures and were way bigger than anything else in the Fantasy ranges.  We dropped them when Warband was released and just left the Goblins instead.  We do have some folks who use the Goblins as Orcs though.

There were some plans to add some chunkier figures to use as Orcs but we didn't get chance to do them (2020 I think?)  We're hoping to add Ratmen and Amazon later this year so we'll see if we can fit some Orc types in next year.

Thanks Leon....Answer much appreciated. I have a Goblin army somewhere in your casters backlog so will get a good look at them in the near future. However somehow I doubt they will work for me as Orcs. But I will find an alternative in the interim. I understand hobby desires doesn't nesc make a great economic reason/decision on what to put into production.

You have many other wares that are tempting enough in the interim.

I know Orcs - he definitely isn't 10mm tall...

That's alright, while he was queuing Gents, I couldn't wait that long, so used his beer glass!   

He didn't notice - I am not sure what that says for:-
A: The Beer here
B: His taste buds
C: How much Beer i have drunk.

It seems a bit awkard to bring this up, but doesn't Pendraken do a range of Night Orcs - or is that a typographical error?

Apparently so

Norcs...

They certainly do, but I was looking for just plain every day 'tolkien like' orcs. These are a rather differnt look & sculpt then what I wanted...so while I have some of Pendrakens goblins....there night orcs are a differnt range entirely.

One of the difficulties manufacturers have is havng to differentiate a product with others.  (For a lot of differnt reasons).

Leon, can we get some Goblin catapults added to the range please.

Hey presto - Goth Rockband.

Copplestone Castings make a "Band on the Run", although as 28mm they are clearly far too big.

Thought I'd raise this question again, the Goblin figures are 10mm to the eyes, so if we can have some slightly larger sculpts for Orcs 12mm to eyes that would be great.

Hopefully more like Lord of the Rings than GW but both would do nicely 😁

Interesting observation re GW & LotR. The GW LotR range, based in the film were, in my humble opinion, pretty much spot on. At least in my imagination. Tolkien describes Orcs as broken, twisred and corrupted elves, with regard to their origins (or 'back story' as it is now called).
So yes, that woukd be a good depiction.

I'm looking to see how Leon and the team integrate some of the 15mm ranges with the 12mm items... hopefully some twisted elves/orcs can emerge from that 👍
