The Orcs Prepare to March!

We're very excited to announce that the very first hard plastic box set for Classic Fantasy Battles is almost with us! The Orc Horde!

Once loyal servants of the Many-Named, the orcs splintered into scattered tribes and bandit kingdoms after his defeat. Now, they roam the wild lands bordering the Free Kingdoms, their former power diminished by the passage of centuries.

The strength of the High Queen has kept them largely pacified, though orc raiders still prey on undefended trade caravans and outlying villages. Yet, fractured and divided, they have not raised their banners in open war in mortal memory.

This hard plastic box set includes three frames with 84 figures for a total of 252 figures in the box along with 40mm x 20mm dual use bases. From this box you can build the following:

• 72 bowmen (6 bases)
• 36 spearmen (3 bases)
• 36 light swordsmen (3 bases)
• 36 heavy swordsmen (3 bases)
• 36 heavy axemen (3 bases)
• 12 warg riders (6 bases)
• and 15 command and 9 casualties

The Orc Horde will be going on pre-order next Friday, March 21st! We will also be starting our series on the Classic Fantasy Battles rules by Andy Hobday. The first article will discuss basing for the game. Come back next Friday for more!
