It's time to show my biggest unit so far, a regiment of 20 warriors.
This time, one of these 20 figures is a plastic one by Warlord Games. The others are a mix of Alternative Armies, Citadel, Grenadier, Old Glory and Ral Partha.
Let's have a closer look on some of them. The first on display is a Gargantua Orc(z) by Ral Partha, a series I've only discovered this year. Slightly biggest than the others, but perfect the way I imagine Orcs.
The next is an Old Glory figure.
The following Orc is probably more difficult to identify. It was made by a french manufacturer called Armageddon, but I couldn't find anything about this company on the net (Armageddon is not the most selective search criteria, whatever the search engine). The only element I have is an article about these figures in a famous french magazine, Casus Belli in 1992, here you are:
And my version, rather similar:
Next figure is a well-known Hobgoblin from the Chronicle range:
The following Orc is what I believe to be a Grenadier Orc or Goblin, not by Nick Lund? Or a Metal Magic figure? To be verified. I'm just sure that I bought him in the mid-90s. Once again, I ask the community for more info, please.
EDIT: Problem solved, it is a Grenadier figure by John Dennett, thank you Eric and Hobgoblin on LAF.
The last of this gallery of portraits is a Citadel Orc, 1984 or 85.
A last picture of the leader of the unit to conclude this post.
What do you think of them ?
No new unit tomorrow as I'm off to see my family for a few days, so let me wish you a Merry Christmas :)
What do I think? I think they are FANTASTIC! Great job on the composition of this group.

SupprimerHi Phil, pretty sure that Grenadier orc is a John Dennett sculpt.
RépondreSupprimerHi Eric, Thank you for the info. I've been asking at LAF, and received that link: http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Image:G-FC-308-cat.jpg
SupprimerThese Orcs are similar to those of a box set named Orcs of the Black River, and you're right about the sculptor: http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Image:G-blords-1602f.jpg.
And merry Christmas!
I'm not into fantasy, but your paintwork is superb!
