Spanish Orcs

I am eagerly awaiting 2 dozen 3D printed orcs to arrive from Spain.

Orcs on the march! Painting by Angus McBride Tim Kirk (oops!) 

I really liked his designs because they have a strong Angus McBride aesthetic to them.

Also because my Legions of Badness really need some pole armed 'offensive' heavy foot and these uruks have a pleasing selection of heavy chopping weapons.

With postage, 3rd party license fee and €2.5/figure for resin they aren't economical, ending up costing me about Cdn$5/figure. Metal castings are almost cheaper. 

But they are quite unique and splendid, and I haven't seen anything like these in metal. Closest that I've seen on the Wargaming in Middle Earth Facebook group are some kit bash figures using several different sets. Which again drives the price per figure up.

I will probably need a break from Bavarians by the time they arrive.

  1. Sorry to say this, James, but the second orcish picture is by an artist named Tim Kirk. It was from a Tolkien calendar from back in the '70's. I've always liked that painting.
