Now that is interesting.  The Grenadier/Mirliton half orcs look to be smaller (at least, less bulky) than the Mirliton orcs and the heads seem to go well with the NS orcs.
Certainly. The same sculptor as the NS goblins. Even the helmets are similar in style. 8)

Yeah, but the heads on most 28mm figures are large.  The orc heads look like they might go quite well.  The real pin-heads are the Redbox miniatures.

I would agree that they’re too small to mix with the NS barbarians however the goblin heads are a very good match to the Perry HYW sets (in terms of size anyway, the neck join is different). I think they’d make for some very effective, dastardly henchmen.

Well, North Star has said they will be doing wolf riders at some point, so those should fit in well enough one assumes, but no idea how long till those will see the light of day (knowing orcs, they probably stay hidden in the darkness actually).

Not mine but pulled from facebook.

As every post has suggested, this range seems to be fully compatible with the other North Star plastics.

I've been toying around with the kit and have tried out different conversions. This is my favourite. The arms are from the Perry Brothers' Agincourt set. (painting is wip)

A few comments on kitbashing
- frostgrave weapon arms fit goblins and vice versa; dry runs are vital and the joint surfaces aren't identical but they work very well
- GW dark ages arms fit the goblins
- goblin heads will work on frostgrave bodies with care and selection

Ive not tried perry parts but judging by the picture above - they do

One of my favourite kitbashes is frostgrave soldier/barbarian body with perry WOTR or European merc head and arms

Might be worth checking with (depending on your location)

https://www.forlornhopegames.com/

to see what they have in stock/available.

Being here in the UK  I am tempted to contact them some time in the new year, funds being available.

Now that's how I see orcs/goblins in my mind's eye.  :-*

Blithering feck that's nice.If you'd asked me who made that i'd have to answer that it was from some company i'd not heard of.
