These are the same figures Viking Forge has been selling for years. I've always loved them. (I think they have much of the old 25mm Asgard line.) Also much cheaper than AA's figures and without expensive shipping.

That said, I like Alternative Armies.

The time is here! Asked for and now on the website, the first part of three of the total restoration of Jes Goodwin's classic Orcs, made for Asgard in the early 1980s. 24 single miniatures, and a set with a good saving too.

Restored Orcs

Painted by Studio Maxi, with hand-painted shields in the style that such superb miniatures deserve, we present OR1 to OR24. Big and brutal Great Orcs, nimble Orc Scouts, Cave Orcs, Warriors, and loathsome Horde Orcs. So much attitude and style in every one of them. Here are front, side and rear pictures.

These Orcs work really well in 28mm scale. Great for any system.

Above: Examples of the different sizes of Orcs, and a scale line-up with a Fantasy Warlord Human Soldier, a Crystal Elf Warrior, and one of Jes Goodwin's own Dwarf Warriors.

Dwarf Warriors

Some of the finest Dwarves of the 1980s, also by Jes Goodwin. Singles, and a full set with saving.

Creatures of Chaos

Creatures of Chaos! Some very odd miniatures here, as singles and a saver set, sculpted in the 1980s by Nick Bibby, Jes Goodwin, and John Blanche.

Alternative Armies is committed to restoring all that we can of the Asgard ranges, and Tabletop Miniature ranges too. We have been at this for several years now, and we expect it to take further years, but we want to thank all of you for your support and kind words in this mighty project. Part Two and Part Three, the final part of the Orc range, will appear later in 2024.

Event

Spring Mega Event 2024 is on until 6th May. See the article for full details, but in short, automatically 20% off all orders at check-out, 80 new codes, and free War Bot II in your package. Super stuff, and applies to everything on the site and any deals discounted on screen the 20% is on top of that.
