I have a 6mm army of Orange Orcs for FWC - they tend to be impetuous and bloodthirsty with a low CV.

I'm a fan of the old Tolkein/Vallejo style orcs although I cut my teeth on Citadel/Marauder orcs from WHFB 3rd/4th edition.

QuotePersonally I would go with E. I felt the old Vendal Miniatures Orcs/Goblins were spot on.






They remind me very much of the Orcs from the 1978 Lord of the Rings movie.

The Vendal orcs are too well armoured for my taste

QuoteIn my RPG campaigns civilised orcs are definitely not a thing.

An Orc's appearance, like their lives, is nasty, brutish and short.
I am continually shocked by how a great race like that of the Orcs has been traduced by the malicious propaganda of the Men of the West and their lackeys. If only people studied the chronicles of their development AFTER the "Unpleasantness of Orodruin".
