New Pre-Orders for Relics
August 15, 2011 by dracs
Good news for all Orcnar and Britanans! Tor Gaming have got some new minis available to pre-order for Relics.
First up there is the Orcnar Grymman.
These screaming horrors descend on the enemy, letting lose a series of sonic booms to obliterate those who stand before the tribe.
Yet Britanan will not stand defenceless. Check out their latest puppet soldier, the Britanan Marksman.
The marksmen are the best the rifle corps have to offer. The puppet armies of Britana often contain a good number of these elite sharp shooters to help take down the enemy from afar.
I really like how these miniatures look. I have a special soft spot for the Britanan puppets. I mean who doesn't love those creepy little guys?
What do you all think of these? Are the miniatures themselves good? Do any of you think you might buy yourselves one or two?

To be honest, the puppets are the only ones I like out of the hole range of Relics. The other armies just don’t seem to match or even compare with the puppets. Time will tell I guess if they improve the others look.
I don’t know… I like the Vannir !

Like the Britannan snipers lots
I also like the Vaettnir and the Nuem concepts look very promising Manpug.
The grymann look like very naughty (and dangerous) monkeys!
the Britannan are great. The others in time will become more defined as most model ranges do. Even confrontation with all there great models started off with crappy sculpts, just look them up and see.
From what I’ve seen of the Nuem, it’s them I like the most. Until they are release I lead the Vaettir (they are called Vaettir! ;)) to victory!
Oh dear ! I had them confused with norse gods… Vaettir it is !

Knew what you meant Romain 😉
I believe that Vaettir is a variation of Vanir in Northern Mythology
It cropped up in a book I read recently about Beowulf
That must be why I hybridised the names Mokus. *whistles innocently*

Vaettir (or Vættir,as it should be it should be) are nature spirits in Norse religion, which Vanir is part of .

Most of the names we use for the Vaettir and Orncar are old English words, or variations of Old English words and generally mean what we intend the profile to be.
For Instance, Docga is Old English for Dog… Beorn means ‘man noble hero chief prince warrior rich man’. Sol means Dark, Dirty and Sun….
Some are slightly bastardised though so don’t translate straight and won’t work in an online translator
The Nuem names are all Latin.
I’m glad my message to BoW didn’t go unnoticed. ^_^
I absolutely love the Britanan Marksmen models, was a bit on the wall about the one leaning… on the wall though, but with color they look great. 😉
He isn’t leaning on a wa…
oh, see what you mean! 😛
I like that chap, though the grin in his face looks full of wicked pleasure at having popped yet another poor victim suggests a malicious streak. lol
