Some alternative Orcs I've been experimenting with. I purchased a couple of the Reaper Bones Orcs to see how they would fit with my Oathmark Goblins. The older Bob Olley sculpts seemed a much better fit, the later styled "Orc Grunt" was massive. I plan to keep the "Orc Grunt" as a champion or bodyguard type, but will not be purchasing any more. The Bob Olley sculpts are still a tad larger than the Oathmark range, particularly when you take the bandy legs into consideration, but I think they will work for Middle Earth. I converted the spear carrying orc because the original weapon was bendy & like a tree-trunk - he now has a Wargames Atlantic skeleton spear & an Oathmark plastic goblin shield. I've finished a couple more & tried head swaps, alternative weapons & greenstuff furs - photos later.

I tried a number of comparison photos which might be useful to get an idea of size. Comparisons are with Oathmark Goblins (metal & plastic), Gripping Beast metal Dark Age miniature, GW plastic Ranger and a Conqueror Models Dwarf.

Good idea. It seems to me that they are the same size as the Grenadier Giant Orcs, now sold by Mirliton, who called them "Great Big Orcs"
