Black Orcs

Ok finally all built, took a little longer than expected but Ill post a little review on my thoughts on the models themselves. But firstly some pics of the models!



Command unit

A Few Random Boyz



Spru's- gives you all the neccesitys to create two full command squads and a veriet of weapons, fairly easy to cut and not alot of mold lines

Assembly- This is where it gets tricky :/  the legs fit in to specific torsos which makes them fairly easy to lock in,some need a little bit of a wiggle to find the right positioning, and while this makes it slightly easier to assemble it also severly decreases modified posing without heavily relying on gree stuff and carving. But the poses themselves are fairly good.... But the other tough thing, each orc is BIG which looks awesome! long tusks and huge weapons makes it card to get them to fit base to base with their fellow boyz though and this takes a little practice and planning to get them to assemble them so they fit rank and file, which kind of causes some breaking and repostioning.

All in all they were pretty fun to assemble with a fairly good veriet of weapons, also with all of you 40k orc fans, bust out your spus becasue some of the weapons on your space orcs work great, my champion has a saw from the Rokkit boy spru, and alot of the blades can be switched out with some fancy modifications, also for an rather expencive conversion project you can potentially use the black orcs to make 'Ard Boyz but thats a whole other project entirly and dosnt fall into the Wargamming on a Budget catagory XP

Hope you enjoyed the review, next up is basing and painting Stay Tuned!
