Black Wasp Sculpt the Shamanic Okobark the Half-Orc
February 2, 2015 by dracs
Black Wasp Games's Kickstarter for their upcoming wargame Warbands will be heading out on the 28th of February, and already we are getting to see what some of the final models will look like. Check out their sculpt for Okobark, the Half-Orc.
Okobark's model makes for a cool character piece. The detail of his chainmail and other paraphernalia works well, while the antlers on his hood frame his orcish features and somehow make him seem even more intimidating. Reportedly, he will also be able to take a bastard sword and shield, but I don't think this will work as well as the staff as the pose seems a little static for someone wielding close combat weapons.
As well as Okobark, Black Wasp Games have given us the lowdown on what we can expect to see in the Kickstarter.
As you can see, there are going to be some tempting pledge options open to us. I particularly like that the Kings Pledge 1 lets you create a race for the campaign. For me, I think it would have to be either a race of birdmen, or maybe gnomes. Yes, a race of six inch tall warriors who swarm from every direction and ride rats to battle!
Does any of this tempt you to support Black Wasp Games when thy go to Kickstarter this month?

Ooo a Ork hero for dungeon questing?
A bit too static for my liking.
Over all pose is too static to my taste but over all that is not bad.
I think the mini has a good old school vibe to it. But I’m interested in the rules of this game than actual the actual miniatures.
Works well enough as a concept, which I really like.
He doesn’t need to be super dynamic, just some subtle rhythms would add so much, but as others have said the pose is just too static.
we now have photos of Okobark with his sword and shield on our facebook page. the photo’s are taken from our sculptor and photography is not his strong point. but lucky for us sculpting is.
@netdiver – We have sent a copy of the rules to Sam, so now it is up to Beast of War to see if they will do a review on the game mechanics for you all
I like him better with the sword and shield
The Half-Giant is looking promising
