Spellcrow Give an Orc a Facelift
May 20, 2014 by dracs
Spellcrow are continuing to rework a lot of their old greenskin minis and have just shown off a new version of an old orc, complete with brand new face and shield.
The face is well detailed and the shield is a good addition, but I think the model could have really benefited from some work on the stance. At present it looks rather knock-kneed, like he's desperate for the toilet.
Ultimately, I have to say that I am not hugely impressed by this model. Spellcrow do some absolutely amazing greenskins, but this one looks rather top heavy and awkward.
What are your thoughts on this model? Am I being too harsh in my judgement? Or do you think it could do with a bit of work?
tbf, Mantic’s and GW’s Orcs look pretty much the same (body shape wise) as this one. The legs could do with being re-positioned though.
Oh look, a cartoony orc. We don’t have any of those. I disagree about Mantic’s orcs. They have moved away somewhat from this caricature style. Though not perfect they are better. Can’t wait for Scibor’s orcs to be finished. They look more like Peter Jackson’s vision of them. I will need many.
