Sauron's Orcs

Orcs are bred for war and have faces only a mother could love.

Another Post from Miscast Terrain

Here is another interesting post from Miscast Terrain, where the authors produces several types of war-gaming wall sections and how to take care of problems as they arise. Make sure you download the templates from the provided link.

D & D Orc Archer

This Orc Archer from the Wizards of the Coast’s D&D Wrath of Ashardalon board game is detailed like the Orc Smasher and stands approximately 35mm. The archer has the following properties and attributes:

If the orc archer is adjacent to a Hero, he will attack the Hero with a punch.
If the orc archer is within 2 tiles of a Hero, he will attack the closest Hero with an arrow.
If the orc archer is more than 2 tiles away he is to move 1 tile toward the closest Hero.
	Attack	Damage
Punch	+6	1
Arrow	+6	2
	Miss	1

D & D Orc Smasher

The Orc Smasher is a large; it stands approximately 35mm tall, highly detailed dense plastic miniature that is accompanying the  Wizards of the Coast, Wrathof Ashardalon  D & D board game. The Orc Smasher has the following properties:

Movement:	1 space towards the nearest hero
Attack:	9
Damage:	1
Experience:	2

Mantic Orc Ax Troop Sprue

The other part of my Mantic order was this Orc Axe Sprue. The four of the five orcs included on this sprue are full of detail. Extra parts on the polystyrene sprue will allow some variation during construction.

Parts included on the sprue include:

3 bodies (1 with 1 arm, and 1 with a head)
3 heads with helmets
6 arms (3 with axe and 2 with shields); 1arm ready to accept an included axe and or a shield
2 adolescent Orc’s (one a flat, that is it only has one side)

Risk Orc Infantrymen

You might remember seeing this 19mm black Orc infantrymen back in my first “Set of Four” post. This miniature comes from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition of Risk, which is now out of print.

The miniature was purchased from the Game Crafter, which, besides the Orc infantrymen in black, currently sells five other plastic miniatures from this board game.
