Otherworld Miniatures Pig Faced Orcs

  Sunday Double Feature!

I painted these guys years and years ago, Pig Faced Orcs from Otherworld Miniatures.  They are based on the classic D&D Orcs from the 1st Edition Advanced Dungeon and Dragons Monster Manual.  There are a couple of Reaper Miniatures figures in there as well...just for good measure.

Otheworld Miniatures Pig Faced Orcs

This force is basically a warband for Dragon Rampant or Song of Blades and Heroes.  I could do a better job now on the skin.  Oh well, a painted model is usually better than an unpainted one.  

D&D Orcs were actually all manner of colors....the dark green of GW was their own creation.  I went with an Olive Green in homage to the D&D Cartoon from the mid 1980s.

The Orcs are a mix of spearmen, hand weapons and double hand weapons.  In Dragon Rampant they would be classified as Bellicose Foot.  In Oathmark I would likely use them as Linebreakers.  

Manbane is the Warlord of this motley band.  The Shaman is preparing is favorite mean: human hearts....in BBQ sauce.  

The Orc archers are joined by Scarr, a Gnoll Ranger.  He prefers to dine on human hands...their hearts are too spicy for Scarr.

This is not a huge force.  Just big enough for small skirmish games.  The price of these models has gone up steadily over the years, and at 5 GBP each it is simply too expensive to make an army out of them (maybe one day...I have had them in my shopping basket more than once).  They make make an appearance in Oathmark as auxiliary troops, alongside my larger Otherworld Miniatures Hobgoblin force (to make an appearance here soon).
