Title: Asgard Miniatures FG5 Giant Orc in plate armour
Post by: Dizbuster on August 12, 2018, 10:36:06 PM

Hello all,
I am on a memory lane search for my very first miniature the Asgard Miniatures FG5 Giant Orc in plate armour. I have been scouring Ebay without success. Does anyone have one they are looking to offload?

I couldn't find it on their site but mayhaps they're able to help you any further?

I think all the Viking Forge ones are the later Jez Goodwin Asgard orcs, but as Duncan says, they might be able to help.

It might also be worth contacting Alternative Armies. They produce the 15mm version of this figure (in a pack of "Mountain orcs"), and it's possible that they have the moulds for the bigger versions too. They certainly have a a fair bit of the early Asgard stuff in production.

Hi and thanks for the replies. I have tried both of these companies neither of who hold the moulds and Bryan Ansell doesn't remember it. So Ebay is my only hope.

Bit late to this thread, but just seen your query on  Iron Mitten's blog. As far as I know this figure is no longer available and difficult to find (I suspect because it's a generic old orc and not easily identifiable). I'm trying to collect a unit of them and making slow progress. I think it's based on this painting by T. Kirk

Good luck.
