Ka Boom! It has taken a year and happened in three parts, but this day sees the completion of the project of restoration of the entirety of Jes Goodwin's classic Orcs, made for Asgard in the early 1980s. A total of 40 infantry Orcs, four Wolf Rider Orcs, and now finally a cannon and its two crew. Every miniature is a single, and all painted by the talented Studio Maxi (who even did freehand designs on shields!).
As well as being single poses, there are saver packs, and now the massive Orc War Tribe which has every single model in the range within it. Here are the details of the last releases in this project:

Get the ultimate skirmish force of 47 metal 28mm scale Orcs with four cavalry rider Orcs on wolves and a cannon kit. The entire Jes Goodwin range of Orcs from Asgard. It has a 10% built-in saving.
All the images of the Orcs are from the talented brush-hand of Studio Maxi, who has really brought them to life, including hand-painted shield motifs and more. You can see how they scale next to our own Crystal Empire Elves (1993), as well as Human militia from the Fantasy Warlord range (1990) and Jes's excellent Dwarfs (1985). The Orcs vary in size from the Great Orcs (OR1-4), Orc Trackers (OR5-8), Orc Soldiers (OR18-21), and Cave Orcs (OR9-12) for example; fitted to their roles.
By request, we have added the option to all of the Orc Wolf Riders (OR25-28) to get the rider and wolf or just the wolf on its own. The wolf is among the nicest examples of its type of the era… a real fierce beast of teeth and fur.
Alternative Armies is committed to restoring all that we can of the Asgard ranges, and Tabletop Miniature ranges as well. Thus far, we have restored most of the 15mm historical ranges, as well as Laserburn and Asgard sci-fi in that same scale. We have brought back the Dragon Lizards, as well as Space Marines by Nick Bibby, and his massive Dragon too. Almost the entire FM fantasy range is back in the world. The process continues in 2025!
