Title: [WM] Orcs and Goblins (Polar Fox and GW mix)
Post by: Ghazk on July 26, 2015, 06:18:46 PM
I'm starting in on my Orc and Goblin army and wanted to share some progress.  I have about 3000 points total, so whats painted here is only about a quarter of the final thing.  The models are mainly Polar Fox's fantastic line (www.polarfox.info (http://www.polarfox.info)) mixed with some GW (mainly just the heroes and orc warriors).

Wow. I'm impressed.

Just a little info regarding Goblin Wolf riders - arm with a spear may be bent in any suitable direction  :)

Marvellous work Ghazk. It just goes to show that an Orc and Goblin army is now easily available with high quality figures.

Those photos have inspired me to paint up a unit of GW Goblins I got last week on ebay  :D

Great stuff. Going to be supplementing my O and G with a bunch of Polar Fox so great to see some painted up!!!

Love it.

I think I've also been convinced to supplement my forces- the squig hoppers and other alternate units are great!

When I said "going to be" I meant "already have but going to be doing so further"!

These are great models and can't wait to see the (rest of) the orcs!

@mlkr

IMHO the polar fox wyverns are superior to the GW ones. Superb value in comparison too.

Characters and wyverns recieved. Characters are bloody brilliant! Highly detailed and so much character in such small sculpts. Personally I am not that fond of the wyverns, (sculpts are excellent, just not the style I am going for) but even just the riders makes me feel it was worth buying a blister. I will use them on 15mm dragons painted up like wyverns. Great work Bel! Quality sculpting!

I notice the Giant set is missing from Bel's website - I hope they aren't OOP!  :(

resin version is oop - SC305 was too aggressive and destroyed the mold. now it is remolding for metal.

Bad news tempered with good Bel, thanks for the quick reply.
Metal giants, must add those to my "to buy" list  :)

waiting for my first polar fox Orcs. Once I make sure that the quality is what everyone says it is I will order the rest :)

Minor update.  The ranks have swelled somewhat, and I perhaps a few slightly better photos!

Mmm i love to see a big army like that. And i like very much your smiley-styel standard :)

The giant is impressive too. You just don't want to be under his hand...
