What's a good source for 15mm orc figures? They don't have to be super sharp sculpts as long as they paint up decent enough to "table standards". Having a lot of different poses is vital though. |

Your best bet for unit variety is to use multiple manufacturers. Be careful, tho, as there is a lot of scale creep between 15mm makers. Scan previous TMP threads to get solid info as to whose figs will or won't work with others. There have been more than a few threads in here on this. My advice, start with Black Raven Foundry and work outwards from there. Enjoy! And remember… Where there's a whip, there's a way. |

The DemonWorld are good looking with a good number of poses but you have to scour them from Ebay for the moment. |

With orcs you can typically get away with mixing companies. Or least my collection has loads of makers. David Splinteredlightminis.com |

Agreed, Nevals, BV got a healthy chunk of my coin at HCon. |

Doesnt Ral Partha Europe sell Demonworld? link |
Ivan DBA | 18 Sep 2016 6:03 p.m. PST |
Yes, Ral Parthe Europe has Demonworld. FASA distributes them in the U.S. too. |

Ones that I know of that have good variants. Demonworld link Khurasan (very Tolkien looking) link Battle Valor Games – Giant orcs with tons of variants. Unfortunately, I like all of their stuff except the orcs. The quality is good, but I don't like the giant orc look. Still they have the greatest amount of variants that I have seen. battlevalorgames.com Black Raven Foundry is pretty good, but a little less. link Eureka Miniatures have a decent number of variants. 4 of each different type. link Grenadier have about 10 different infantry types and 6 different archers, and then some leader types. link I have some of almost all of these and have some comparison shots on my blog. landoatwar.blogspot.com |

Splintered light miniatures has 6 basic troop variations in 2 packs. |

Appreciate all the suggestions. The Splintered Light ones look fantabulous I must say. |

I really like the old school vibe of Splintered Light and Khurasan – you could make several different "tribes" out of their different types. |
Weasel | 19 Sep 2016 1:13 p.m. PST |
That's a good call. for LOTR, I'll need distinct ones for Moria types, regular orcs and Uruk-hai |
PrivateSnafu | 19 Sep 2016 1:21 p.m. PST |
Go Eureka for the Uruk-hai, they seem on the mark. |
