Title: Who, what where are these chaps from?
Post by: Lowtardog on 17 December 2013, 08:15:20 PM: Lost out on an ebay auction but the title had fomorion Orcs...certainly not Celtos or Chronopia, anyone have any ideas who sold, sculpted them? :D

Edit: "Did you mean: fomorian Orcs "

Closest thing I can view at work is:

Post by: Limes on 03 January 2022, 11:49:21 PM: Thank you all for this thread! I just found a pack of these in one of my boxes¹ and couldn't find any info on them anywhere else...

Now, knowing what they are, I just hope I'll do them justice with the paints...
