I may have to work these into Darkest Africa games. They're looking pretty damn brutal.

I'm really liking these - with a few guns they could make great nurgle cultists:

Those orcs are fantastic. A perfect blend of GW and Rackham... in plastic!

They remind me of the first bad guy out of the first Witcher.

Too many skulls?

I feel like if I squint my eyes just right and concentrate real hard, I can imagine a paint scheme that wouldn't make those cultists look like crap!

The orcs on the other hand... gimme gimme!

It is definitely cheaper to order direct than from anywhere else - and get this, free shipping worldwide for 60 Euros or more. 25 Euros is about $34 USD so only about $1.75 per figure, which is great. I'm tempted to order two boxes or see if any of my friends want to go in on this, or order one of their other regiments as well. I'd really like to support this company in the hopes of more excellent affordable plastic kits!

I would say that what makes them look really horrific, apart from the fangs and crude weapons, is the absence of pupil in their eyes. With a pupil painted, they will still look savage, brutal and wild enough, while not looking so devilish.
Really nice looking figures.

I would be very interested to have a picture of one of them next to a Mantic and GW ones for scaling comparison. Eh..Shieldwolf? Would that be possible?

A warm good morning to all!
We don't like to (and we almost never) interfere in conversations, leaving time and people do the judging on us. Anything we want to state is (almost always) done on our FaceBook page, trying to answer all questions there as best as possible. In the meanwhile we appreciate all feedback and are very busy working on our next releases.
We own no rights with these companies you mentioned, nor are we affiliated in any way with them. We have been asked for and sent a box for a detailed review to (what we believe) a neutral and independent source. I'm sure it will show up soon. :-)


Edit: We'd also like with the opportunity to note that the Death Deceivers are resin as clearly described in our website.

Thank you.

Got my Orcs pre-order in now

looking forward to seeing them in real life

Could you post a quick review on Dakka when you get them?

Will do

Cool! Thanks!

The UK distributor has just posted on facebook that the freebie with the (first 500) pre-orders for the orcs is going to be a resin weapons pack

I have just finished this exclusive review of the Shieldwolf plastic orcs for the people interested, you can find him on my blog. The review includes comparison pictures with GW and Mantic Games.

Cheers!

I like this one. That's one orc that takes pleasure in his work.

The heads still strike me the wrong way... will be interested to see a different paint job on them, though.

Great review!

I think I'll definitely get some of these to go with my Mantic Orcs, they'll need a headswap, but look like they'll work great as far as armswaps go. Thanks for the comparison pics.

Looking at them, I'm not sure I can accept the ginormous heads on them. It's a bit too heroic scale!

Might order some for my KoW orcs as well. I think I have plenty of extra heads left over as well.

I'll take the extra heads if you're not using them. I love the demonic look.

I think they could work mixing with both GW and Mantic Orcs, because the variation can be defined as them being a slightly different, savager version.

Nice review. I could see using spare GW heads on them for use as Orcs, and the stock heads on them (with a different paint job) to use them as Daemonic models, or Beastmen, or so forth..

I love them. I wish I had an excuse to buy these but I don't play fantasy, nor do I have an ork army for 40k

Am I the only one who likes the heads? They look rabid as insane as feth. Just like rabid melon-fething orc berserkers.

Now I want to make an orc army with these plus Mantic orcs. After I finish my human army first.

Nope. I think there are many (including myself) who love the look.

Me too. Ordering some right now, in fact.


Not sure what I'm going to do with them - don't care.

Is there a US retailer whom we can order through?

Yes they look more "scary" than other orks on the market. I like them.

I just went to the gw site.

Yeah these are way better than the gw equivalent. And for half the cost.

Sign me up

Nope, I think they're great. The biggest point against them, in my opinion, is the lack of bits on the sprue. There are two distinct types of noses and not enough heads to use just one or the other.
