Very much looking forward to this! The ones I'm most curious to see are the mercenary orcs; they always look much sketchier than the rest in the catalogue photos, so I'm interested to see how they turn out when painted.

Wrong, that photo is brilliant.  ;) Atmospheric and inspiring, old or not.

I too look forward to seeing more.

don't care if its old, its well shot, atmospheric, and shows both the miniatures and your work off well.

Looking forward to seeing more

Those look really good. Are they Nick Lund sculpts? They remind me if his old (and very good) range of goblins for Grenadier.

Jez Goodwin: quite possibly the best Orcs ever (http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Orcs_%28Asgard%29).

Thanks all :) I really must photograph more of my miniatures,lazy…

Erm;  the figures are Asgard by Jez Goodwin,still made by Viking Forge. Though it’s been a good few years since I’ve been in touch,very good service.

Here's a link for those interested. http://www.thevikingforge.net/25mm-fantasy-orcs.html
Lots of cool old school things on there. I remember buying some things from Asgard when I was younger, I only had names to go by, I remember buying the adventuress with sword. Turned up half naked, I think my mum promptly got rid of it, lol. My brother bought some orcs, the current casting by Viking forge is much better than when I first got them some 30 years ago. A lot less clean up.

Thanks! Not sure, if best ever, but I don’t have them yet, and I do have a fancy for most orcs around there (even the old 80s-early 90s GW ones, though the new one not so much).

Best orcs in my lowly opinion are either Asgard or late 70s Tom Meier for Ral Partha  :)
