Hello! I couldn't find the picture of sprues from old Black Orc box from which you can assemble 10 Black Orcs.
After you build your 10 orcs with full command how many hands with weapons are you left with? Or better yet, how many Black Orcs can you arm (equip, build) with leftover hands with weapons (both one weapon in each hand, and the great two-handed weapons)?

Do you mean Assault on Black Reach?

Nope, old WHFB Black Orcs box. They are now repackaged into Orruk Ardboyz in box from which you can build 15 Orcs.

I don’t think there are any spare arms in that kit. Just monopose black orcs.

...Or did you not mean that old...



(Sorry for not being helpful, Just splashing a little rerto-nostalgia into the thread)

I know, but you say “Old” around some of us grognards, we think farther back. You kids these days with your fancy multi-pose kits. Back in my day...

Just clarifying for those who might come along later and not understand what he's looking for...

You're not the only one who thought of the 0748 plastic black Orcs. Those other ones are practically brand new in grognard terms!

If you search Google for plastic black orcs sprue you'll find pictures of the sprue.

Whilst I would like to help, I'm a little confused by what you are asking? How many weapons arms are in the set?

I'm not sure honestly, BUT, I imagine there are enough great weapon wielding arms to outfit 10 Black Orcs, and enough duel wielding arms to outfit 10 Black Orcs. Most GW sets from this period had the weapon choices to field whatever weapon options you wanted, excluding the command group.

Black orcs had "mixed weapons" rule because the sprue did not have enough parts to arm all models in the same way. A sprue of Black Orcs contains 5 models with 3 pairs of hand weapons, 3 double handed weapons, 2 shields and command parts. Do the math.

I had a TON of leftover arms after building like 40 or 50 but I didn’t count. I just know I had a lot, is “a lot” a good answer?
