Any Chronicle Black Orc and current GW comparison pics?
« on: 07 March 2014, 06:23:24 PM »
The review on the Realm of Chaos 80s blog says they're "BIG 'N' CHUNKY,"  but are they so compared with GW's OOP prior metal and current plastic Black Orcs and how about Orcs? Any comparison pics - I'm interested in proportions? I like the look of Eeza Ugezod's Mother Crushers, but fielding a unit to ~40+ is pricey, so what options are there to bulking it out?

I have those and they are chunky and tall even by todat standards.
I wouldn't mint selling them. Champion, leader ans standard bearer are painted, the rest are not.

I can post some pics by the end of next week.

I have seen some of Nick Lund's Orcs, from Grenadier, but assumed that his GW ones might smaller and thinner than today's Black Orcs, like all the other Greenskins from the 80s. Thanks for clarifying and now I'll search for them, hopefully finding enough for a reasonable price - especially the other non Ugezod Black Orcs holding glaives upright for the back ranks.

How many do you have of each and for how much? These are slotted base ones?

Thanks, would appreciate it.

I'm not sure about how many I have, about 14 - 20 including characters. And yes, they are slotted base.
