Really nice Nik, I especially like the vicious raspberries :D
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Squogglers - here: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/DN61-p6383/

The only non-Pendraken figure is the giant (plastic zombie from Warhammer Quest I think)

Great idea to use a 28mm figure for the Giant 8).

Another fine looking army from Nik, and one of my favourites for WM, I might just have to get some of those Squogglers for my Orcy horde.

Great army Nik!

And you are right on the heroquest zombie  ;)

I had shied away from orcs and goblinz for warmaster but these guys might just convince me otberwise :)

Great work and style, the army is really cohesive, how do you differentiate between orcs and goblins?
my hobby/painting blog: full of 6mm goodness coming soon, 10mm goodness too!

Would be nice if Pendraken would release some smaller sized goblinoids that could be clearly used as warmaster goblin hordes - and some tougher/taller/heavily armored orcs to use as Black Orcs.

I could be very wrong since I have only bought orcs from pendraken: is it fair to say pendraken goblins are thinner but taller?
I wonder if the goblin figures what Kallistra labels as "mountain orcs"?

If someone can shed some light I can then update my warmaster mapping below to include pendraken codes as well (scroll down to the large 10mm section):

http://www.athens-fantasy.gr/2013/07/orcs-goblins-warmaster-with-non-gw-miniatures/

basically I am looking for the best candidates for goblins vs orcs vs black orcs in the pendraken line.

Good Job  :-bd

Nice idea using the Heroquest Zombie as a Giant !!!  :D Might Going to copy that  :D

I'm sure Leon can confirm this, but I believe that the Kallistra Orcs are the same as the Pendraken Goblins, but cast in strips, whilst the Kallistra Mountain Orcs are the 15mm Goblins formerly produced by Pendraken, but now produced by Minibits.

The Pendraken Orcs are only produced by Pendraken and ARE shorter and squatter than the goblins.

The Minibits 15mm Goblins make great Black Orc/Giant Goblins to go with the Pendraken ones.

Hope this is some help, cheers!
