With these five Orcs on the tabletop, you're bound to fit an amazing scenario of Pulp Vietnam War or a rescue mission for D&D. If you're stuck for ideas, perhaps looking back at some old Schwarzenegger or Stallone movies to get your creative juices flowing. We've even got our own Norn Iron Ninja Orc to sneak up on enemy territory and plant some flegs.
What would you use these Orcs for?

They look really cool… but they seem so much bigger that GW Orks…
I’m sure GW will catch up….eventually. on the plus side they are cheaper than the GW equivalent
Are you sure? Artel W charges 45USD for a pack of five and GW 35€.
since it was in dollars on Artels site I just looked at dollars on GW they both rocked in at $45 but Artel gives you an extra Nork for your dollars.
No, the Artel W is 5 Norks. There are 6 in the picture but the text says “5 ladz” with a +10USD option for an additional Kammandah. But I did the conversion of Euro/USD and Artel W would be 41’ish Euro. Still more expensive than GW. (Which baffles my mind)
Fair enough. Pricing wise there are a few factors that push the price up. Resin is more expensive to manufacture in as mistakes go in the bin while metal can be reused. Likewise if the stock doesn’t sell you’re stuck with it and even casting is more skilled than metal casting. Volume of production also has an effect. Saying that I still think the artel are reasonable at that price and I prefer them to the GW sculpts. They have a lot more character
I didn’t say the pricing is unreasonable and I’m totally on board with you regarding the design. I still have the old GW metal commandos and they look better than GW current models… at least in my book
So this is the guy who keeps putting flegs on the lampposts near my house? The NINOs have a lot to answer for!
Those look amazing, some of the nicest Orks I’ve seen in a while. As tasty as a bag of Tayto Cheese and Onion!
+1 for the Tayto reference! Yess!
Gerry makes a good case for the Nonr-Ire ninja nork to be honest. Really great minis these, the detailing is fantastic. Also speaking of Taytos I found them in Australia. Cheeky bag of cheese and onion taytos while waiting on the bus.
These Orks are really great! Great unboxing!
It’s almost worth running an RPG campaign with everyone playing orcs vs those do gooder stumpies, spike-ears, hummies and boggits.
How many teef does a hair squig cost anyway? Asking for a friend.
Anyone else think Gerry is channelling Histor and Pliny in this one? Or have I watched too much “this morning with richard not judy”
Wow! Those are stunning models!
… Fek me! Just been on their website, how have I missed this lot!
two fantastically detailed figures.
Just makes one want to start a nork arm…
Those are some nice sculpts would make a nice Kill Team unit.
Nice special f-ORC-es unit there
