Orc Army for Rally Round the King

For my campaign in the Annürien Marches I also needed an orc army. I already had trolls and ogres (by Magister Militum) to play with my goblin army.

Here is the orc infantry, a strong opponent (CV4, AC2, Frenzy & Undisciplined)

Splintered Light Miniatures (SLM)

If you are lucky with your rolls you can have heavy infantry (CV5, AC4, Frenzy & Undisciplined). The minis are a mix of Splintered Light Miniatures (SLM), Blood Dawn (Magister Militum) and Demonworld (lancers in the back).

Orc have also a good cavalry (CV5, AC2, Terror, Shock, Undisciplined)

Wolf riders by Blood Dawn and wolves by Magister Militum

The only skirmishers of an orc army are archers.

  1. Cher Monsieur

    C'est en grande partie à cause de votre blog, que j'ai craqué pour des figurines sf en 15mm.
    Cette fois ci vous ne m'aurais pas...m'enfin je pense:)

    Très belle figs, impatient de suivre le déroulement de la campagne.

    Un petit truc quand même, avant on avait droit à le version française des messages.
    Pour la buse en anglais que je suis, c'était plus agréable.

    Et pour finir une question...rapport à la buse...sait tu si un jour les jeux THW seront traduit?

  2. Very nice. How do the Blood Dawn orcs compare to the SLM or Demonworld orcs as far as size goes. I keep thinking about getting them, but not knowing the size keeps me from doing so.

  3. Outstanding job on these. Orcs to be proud of.

  4. @ Eric, je vais faire un effort mais c'est plus de boulot la double traduction... En revanche la traduction en français des jeux THW est peu probable. Il faut jouer plus souvent ensemble !
    @ Chris, Blood Dawn orcs are massive, bigger than Demonworld or SLM's. They have also a more large and "reptilian" head (for me). IMO, they are perfect for ogre.
    @ All, thanks!

  5. Wow, really nice painting work! =) I ordered a couple of the Blood Dawn wolf riders (Magister Militum) a few days ago. Nice to see someone elses paintjob. I have finished a few Magister Militum (Chariot Miniatures) Orcs that I use in Song of Blades and Heroes games (http://monodesire.blogspot.com/2012/01/figure-painting-eight-armoured-orcs.html) - I must say I like those 15mm Orcs miniatures.

  6. they look great, I'm looking for some good Orks for a warband, not sure which is better from your photos, SLM or Blood Dawn? I need to do an order with SLM so will go with them.

  7. Je sais pour la version française, c'est plus long. Je ferai sans, heureusement les textes ne sont pas trop long, j'me débrouille.
    merci pour la réponse sur la traduction, c'est dommage.

    Par contre il y a confusion, je ne suis pas Eric:)
