Hi all,

I was planning to start a new Ork army for 40k, but in light of the current GW situation I was wondering if there was another source for Space Orks. Quality is high on my list then price.

I love the GW Orks and don't have a bad word to say about them, except mega nobs and dreads are way over priced, but I don't want to get into that discussion here, as I'm sure there is a post knocking around here somewhere which deals with this matter

Many regards

Madmick

If you look at Kromlech, there are some bitz add ons that can be used for Orks.

Mantic have released fantasy orcs which are pretty decent, but I am not sure how easy they will be to convert into futuristic versions.

However recent rumours suggest a new sci fi range from them, possibly some of their new stuff will include space orks.
Hasslefree have some sci fi goblins:

Do they have to be Orks? I mean, do they have to look Orkoid? If you're willing to go a different route (post apocalyptic mutants?) you might have many more options.

Alternatively, there's always buying from Ebay if you don't want to give GW money directly.

Yes.

The source is getting them from the Sell and trade on Dakka. At least then you won't get boned in picking up a basic set and the snacks.

The Mantic Games fantasy Orcs are amazing!!!! think they wipe the floor with GW tbh. however would prefer space orcs if poss.

Kromlech make nice ones. Prob best suited to my needs tbh, but you need to buy componants seperatly which would cost a small fortune by the time a 2k army is together and shipped from US :(

Not to keen on Hassle free minis :( look like they are sculpted from bubblegum, hehe

Thanks for speedy response though mate really appreciate it /hugs

OK, after some sleep I'm pretty sure Mantic is the way forward

think i'll go down the evil side using dwarfs as Abyssal dwarfs as I hate metal. Also the Abyssal dwarfs use orks!!! and the undead are pleasant on the eye, in a weird sorta way

I have seen some photos of the Mantic figure cases. Like a big black back pack. Anyone got a link to where these may be procured?

Thanks

Check their website I'm sure its got a distributor list when I expand my Orks I'm going down the Mantic path as well.
