Plucky Orc Brits Join The Fighting For Hysterical’s Panzerfauste
May 11, 2015 by brennon
Hysterical Games have added even more artwork to their Facebook Page showing off one of the other factions for their weird take on World War II that is Panzerfauste. This time it's the stiff upper lip of the British Orcs...
Highlander Pride
As you can see below the artwork not only takes a look at the standard British Soldier for the Orcs but also an epic Highlander Officer who is clutching the head of some poor dead Dwarf in his meaty fist.
Weirdly enough this army is appealing to me, but then again so are the French Gnomes, as I think they've been doing a great job with the interesting troop designs for this game. There's no word on when exactly the game will come out as they are still very much in the development stage but they are doing everything right so far when it comes to the hype.
French Gnomes, British Orcs or German Dwarves - which would you go for?

This appeals to me as it is plain bonkers 🙂 The artwork is great and I like the concept. So I liked them on Facebook.
that orc is screaming “Yerr’ outta ordah!”
Not sure how there is anything proud for the Highlanders to be depicted as orcs.
Seeing this artwork confirms my initial impression.
Not very flattering for the veterans and rather insulting.
yes, because history should never be the subject of humor.
That’s right.
Let’s all take the piss out of those that died fighting the Nazis by depicting them as Orcs.
Because that is hilarious.
Indeed, it’s absolutely disgusting. In fact, we should start a petition to ban all forms of weird world war gaming. Heck why not include any type of war game because it is not possible to use the concept of war in a positive way for fun. War is not a game as the saying goes. All those people playing bolt action for fun, or even worse all quiet on the Martian front (aliens in WW1! Ridiculous!), and having a laugh with their friends while doing so. It’s disgusting! If I told my grandfather about this he would fall out of… Read more »
Your attempt to justify the game is misguided as is the analogy with Martian Front.
AFAIK Weird Wargames don’t represent the Allies as evil monsters
If you wish to demonise the Allies fighting for democracy that is up to you.
Personally I detest fascism and am less than impressed by anyone who thinks nazis are the good guys, as in this game.
Good for you. It’s a game. In 40k the imperium is about as racist and fascist as it gets. Still there are a lot of space marine players. Are they fascists? Or supporting it’s ideals? And ‘fighting for democracy’? I believe that the Soviet Union was on the allies side (didn’t hear the ‘democratic’ Brits or the ‘democratic’ US complaining at the time). They had been conducting genocides since before the war even began. That besides why are these orcs evil? Or do you get to choose what is evil and what is not? In reality of course I suppose… Read more »
Thank you for acknowledging that I prefer the Good
You seem to have a knack of avoiding the issue and choosing poor analogies and can only see things in terms of the shaking of the wrist.
Not sure those that went through WW2 would share your opinion.
Am done talking to you as I have made my point and you clearly have nothing to convince me that my initial impression is wrong.
No problem mate. People who construe ‘the issue’ as only being compatible with their ‘analogy’ (even a rather weak one based on black and white moral determination aimed at toy soldiers) often cannot be convinced of anything. Have a good one.
I think u might be sick or maybe a troll to the max, mhy is this game worst than boltaction, dust tactics or warzone, all have britsh and german armies. I onestly think u have a dillusion. Have u read the books called Orcs, they are the good guys, And in last Hobbit movie the Dwarfs weren’t all good. All races in FICTION are shown as good bad and inbertween.
Silly boy or silly troll! LOL!
They don’t look right.
i like this a lot.
