Quite nice. Amzing in comparison to the craptacular plastic orcs they\'re releasing.

yeah it\'s a bit strange they seem to have got stuck between editions with the orcs..all that cool gritty stuff brian nelson was doing bthen this bunch of window lickers they\'re doin in plastic...go figure...
rumour has it the azhag the slaughterer is qute sweet though....

 

[Ritual]

I think it looks pretty terrible!

I like it, better than the generic plastic one!

The Wyvern model is far better than the Azhag the slaughterer rider in my opinion.

Not sure about this batch. I think I\'ll wait and comment when Ive seen one first hand.

I like skarsnik and Gobbla!!

And I actually like Gorbad - very interesting!

Its good to see that they have let the EM team run riot lately and really show their skills.

If that is the symbol I think it is (the red angry face thingy with the chequer marks around it) then that is an awesome piece of freehand on the boar\'s headplate.

The other ones that spring to mind are teh recent 40k Ork Kommandos. Awesome paintjobs that must have taken quite a lot of time

Cheers

Agreed, the E.M boys have been doing good lately!
And as for Gobbla, thats what you call a squig! I really like these minis.

 

[Avelorn]

Well.. eh. I\'m just going to hoard the Brian Nelson gobbos/orcs looking from the previews. That\'s all I\'m going to say..

I dont really like the gobbo\'s skin tone... too monochrome and flat... but I guess they are dumbing it down for the younger audience, and there has to be a use for Goblin Green

 

[Torn blue sky]

lol Oi, I use goblin green!..sometimes

I think the light makes it look a bit more garish that it realy is too

As an Orc fan from way back I think GW are moving backwards. Orcs peaked a couple of years ago.

On a similar topic I picked up one of the new Ork Kommandos and the sculpting seems very lacklustre. Parts of the face are almost flat, the left arm is a lot smaller than the socket left for it. The skull hanging from the weapon is pointless (especially with the huge hole in the back). The EM team had to work hard to make that one look good.
