I was just wondering how well the mantic orx scale to orks?

Thanks for all feedback.

Here you go:

Mantic Orcs look better proportioned. And better imo

Thanks for the pic, that is brilliant.

Hey scarlet, can you show us a new topic with "size comparision" of all mantic vs all GW? LIke the Mantic minis vs theirs relatives in GW, and Marines?

It would be great to see for example, how those orcs stand side by side with my dark eldar (they seens like promissing wracks)

I dont think it matters much with orcs...since there's so much variety with orcs across all fantasy settings there's bound to be some variation within any one of those settings

And that answers the only question I had about it in my mind. Mantic here I come

For me mantics orcs put the gw ones to shame. I for one am very glad they're on the scene and will be buying their orcs. Can't wait to see their future stuff, their models have come a long way in a short time. Thanks for the helpful scale pic.

Most definately but go have a look at the Mantic Elves. Those models were shocking. They were like the High Elves incredibly skinny brothers.
I think you might have also missed a trick m8 as Mantic were doing some surprise bags @ £25 and they included around 120+ models of randon sets (you also got a canvas bag) in them. (pure luck it seems.)
I am aware of a few people though that scored over 80 models from the same faction.

They've just stolen the style off GW's old gorkamorka models. So they've put GW to shame by copying their old models, really. They are a nice copy and revamp though.

What about orx and orks? does anybody have some any pics about their si-fi twins?

Hope I'm not a bother.

The KoW Orcs compared to the Warpath Orx are exactly the same size. This is because the bodies of the Warpath ones are recycled from the KoW version. One thing good is that both versions are fairly easy to be interchangeable.
