Brass-mouthed cannons barked smoke and flame, rocking back on iron-bound carriages with each report.
Goblins toiled quickly to reload them as Slavemasters walked up and down the line of earthworks, whipping
and kicking those they deemed too slovenly.

Atop his mighty warpig Arsewind, Gakamak the Unstoppable bared yellowing teeth in a hideous Orcish smile.

East tower is almost down,” he grunted in the thick language of the Orcs, almost to himself. He turned his
head and looked down to where his lieutenants waited nervously on foot around him. “Krossgar, get your
troops to the foot of the banking. You will attack first after the wretches go in.” He fixed the Headcrusher
captain before him with a glare. The Orc began to return it twofold and thought better of it, bowing low –
he was not strong enough yet to best Gakamak in a challenge. “Yes, lord,” he growled, and marched away,
armour plates clanking.

Gakamak gave orders to all his underlings, Orc and Goblin, as the cannons spoke once more. The weapons had
been taken from the Abyssal Dwarfs last week, and now were being put to good use against their makers.
Smoke puffed along the line of the walls, ornate metalwork denting, stonework disintegrating. He gave a
snort of satisfaction as a tower slipped forward like a stab victim stumbling to its knees, blocks coming apart
as it turned from a building to a pile of rubble in front of him. Moments later, the rumble of its collapse reached
his ears. A roaring cheer went up from his army. Beasts bellowed, Trolls moaned, Warpigs snorted and Vargen
howled at the commotion made by their masters.

Gakamak smiled again at the destruction, felt his heart pound at the sight of something unmade. He’d rip it down,
all of it, rip it to pieces, smash it, burn it and dance on the ashes. He chuckled in his barrel chest, deep and phlegmy.

“Told you. East tower,” he said, gesturing with a massive, clawed hand. “Now sound the attack. Goblins in, first
wave. Tonight we dine on Dwarf flesh.”

He flipped back his visor, threw back his head and roared along with the bray of harsh trumpets. As one, his army
joined him, and Gakamak’s blood sang with the joy of war.

Die Plastikkarte kann man bei einem der Einkäufe auf ihrer Website verrechnen lassen, sind glaub ich 5 Pfund. Diese Karte liegt dem Dungeonspiel bei.

wow. also wenn ich den nicht hier im kow thread sehen würde und duncan den nicht gepostet hätte, dann würde ich gar nicht glauben, dass der ork von kow ist. der ist wirklich mal spitze designed. fast schon scibor-qualität, die in meinen augen (wenn auch in sehr eingeschränktem sortiment) so ziemlich die beste design-arbeit, was fantasy-minis angeht, abliefern.

Orc Heroes

As far as an Orc is concerned, might is right. He who hits hardest laughs longest, and all of their leaders
have had to fight their way into their positions of power. A good Orc Krudger might last a decade or more,
before age, infirmity or old wounds weaken him, and then he will be bested in combat by another Orc and
replaced, his body devoured at his vanquisher’s victory feast. It is a brutal way of life, but the Orcs do
not bemoan it. For them it is the way of things, and so only right. Other creatures that follow more
civilised ways they see as weak and feeble.


As a result, Orc heroes tend to be very large. Big Orcs are stronger Orcs, and so big Orcs are more likely to
be in charge. Powerful Orcs are marked out from youth. This can be dangerous, as some Orc Krudgers prefer
to cull the bigger young, sparing themselves from the blade for a few years longer, and Abyssal Dwarf slavers
follow this line of reasoning religiously, to prevent rebellion. Many Orc Krudgers, however, have little truck with
this, holding that to kill the biggest and best weakens the tribe, and a krudger with a weak tribe is nothing.
With weak followers, a krudger’s achievements will be unremarkable, and his name forgotten to song and
legend. To be forgotten is the fate of most Krudgers; but to be remembered for all time is the goal of them all.


Beasts of War

Orcs and Goblins alike field regiments of cavalry. No horse will allow an Orc anywhere near it, so they employ
beasts with temperaments more in line with their own.. Orcs ride Gores, massively muscled creatures boasting
large tusks and skulls even thicker than those of Orcs, heavy and ill-tempered, their weight is enough to crush
a fully-armoured man.

Ich hät Orcs ala WarCraft cooler gefunden, welche auf riesigen Wölfen reiten, aber nun muss man sich wieder mit Schweinen abfinden, aber die beiden Charmodelle sehen schon mal gut aus - aber bei Mantic geben die sich zumindest in dem Bereich auch Mühe (siehte auch Abyssal Dwarfs, Infa zum größten Teil naja, aber Chars sehen wieder gut aus ^^)

Macht keinen üblen Eindruck, mal auf die ersten Farbpics der Orcs gespannt.

Die Abyssal Dwarf Berserker sehen auch nicht schlecht aus, aber das sind wohl wieder Komplettzinnmodelle, da sehen die Manticsachen meist besser aus als die Plastikdinger.

Aber zu den Orks könnte man sich evtl hinrießen lassen (btw. sind diese "Snotlinge" etwa Zweiteilig mit Vor- und Rückseite? :blink🙂
