anybody have these?? seems like a steal these sets give good basic options and give you a big basic army on the cheap?

Also as a non ork player are the warbikes actual bikes?

What would the tracked guns count as??

I personally think they look absolutely hideous. Even given them for free I would use them. But that’s just me.

Yup, they're ugly, spindly-legged, awkwardly posed and mostly cast from a really horrible plastic.


And yes, warbikes are motorbikes.

I liked the hard plastic (HIPS) marauders well enough, although they were fairly limited in terms of posing. The newer, restic (PVC) marauders look a bit too goofy to me, being an unfortunate combination of Mantic trying harder to mimic GW's Brian Nelson Orks and their in-house war between realistic scale and post-Rackham Mighty Mouse scale.

This is why orks should never skip leg day

For the price? I'd give them a try. They do look oddly spindly legged... but maybe there would be a way. I mean, there's something like 78 minis for the cost of 12. I'd give it a try, even if you only snagged bits or the occasional model for variety.

Some of the models like the Grot snipers and dogs are good, others like their weapon suits of armour and warboss are good for blood axes. The regular boyz are a bit comical. The raptor bike is ok.

The dreadball team is good

I will disagree with everyone and say the hard platic ones are terrible (they are fantasy orcs in chainmail with rayguns added to the sprue later) and the PVC ones are pretty great if you can stomach the material.

Since when have they been HIPs? I've got some of these on sprues from about 2010 and they're polystyrene.

As for the models themselves? They're great for harvesting for bits for Cultists and Mutants, but that's about the limit of their usefulness I've found.

The link in the OP is for the PVC versions.
