I saw this site on eBay (if you flip onto eBay and type Kromlech in search easy to find) and they had some pretty cool looking orks that seem suitable for 40k. I was wondering if anyone had seen, oredered, or used these models in the past or currently. The mega-armored orks were a unit I was specifically looking at. They were a bit cheaper than GW and I thought they looked better than the current GW models but I didn't want to get stuck with a pile of resin models that dont look as good as they do in pics. Their jets look very blocky and not my style but I do like dem meganobz. Any opinions help and thanks all.

The Kromlech Meganobz are pretty awesome in person as well.
Yes - the Kromlech mega armored orcs are both less expensive and better looking.

I have their Rotten Butcher, very happy with it, it is reasonably priced considering how big it is, and the cast I got was almost flawless, requiring nearly zero cleanup.

I ordered some of their clanking destroyers a couple years ago and was really happy with the quality of the models. Would order from Kromlech again.

Kromlech is amazing, I got pretty much flawless castings whenever I ordered something.

Same with my Rotten Butcher. I couldn't be happier using it as my GUO.

Thanks all I get understandably leery before ordering blind from som esite on eBay, especially an international one where I am unlikely to visit the brick and mortar location. Meganobz it is for me, Ghazgkull needs some buddies.

Literally every review I've ever seen of them has sang their praises. People were practically drooling over the meganobz, and their other ork bits are excellent as well. Check out Max Mini as well for some awesome Harley esque ork bikers.
The two companies used to be related but split for some reason. Can't remember why, but I don't think it was on bad terms.

Love my clanking destroyers. Can't think of a better cast I've ever gotten from anyone.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better. |

I have their Mega Nobz and they are amazing. I highly recommend them to any Ork player.

As you can see, there are mixed reviews - there are those that think that the Kromlech miniatures are excellent, and then there are the folks that think that the Kromlech miniatures are wonderful.
Yeah - I really have heard nothing but good about the Kromlech figures, and know two folks that have the Mega Armored Nobz - heck, I am tempted, and I don't even play orks.... (One of them looks very easy to use for steampunk.)

I don't even play 40k with any regularity and I still made a little skirmish force of all Kromlech stuff. The vehicle kits are pricey, but very very nice. Definitely better than anything orky Forgeworld or GW makes.
Free rules like ITEN + Kromlech = Gorka Morka never dies.

I've placed a few smallish orders from them. What really stood out to me was even though it was a small order, it was packaged like it was very expensive.
Quality of the product was there too. I'd not have a problem ordering from them again.
