Forgotten World Orcs


  • Hello Wargames Atlantic and Forum,

    A number of years ago Fireforge Games did some kickstarters for their Forgotten World range, they had a wargame ruleset that they also produced but I don't think it really took off the ground, the miniatures were great however.  You may have seen their plastic Northmen kits used for everything from Mordheim to 40K conversions.  Anyways they had previewed some future factions they would like to do and have unfortunately not gotten around to in the years since.  The orcs they previewed looked to have been pretty far along in the development stages and looked absolutely fantastic.  While I know Wargames Atlantic is quite adept at designing and producing their own models and have their own Orcs on the way, I also know they have been very proactive in helping a wide variety of designers/manufacturers bring their stuff to market.  Would it perhaps be possible for Wargames Atlantic to reach out to Fireforge Games and test the waters on perhaps combining efforts on bringing these wonderful Orc designs to plastic production?  I think they could sell quite well for the D&D crowd or even just regular wargamers who like a more grounded Orc kit.

     



  • @Percival hmmm, that would likely be up to Fireforge.


  • @Percival i believe WGA has their own orc kit currently in the works, so I doubt this would work out, sorry. they are quite nice looking though!


  • @timbus the thirteenth Yeah, depends on how those orcs will look like.


  • @Charles Tottington probably fairly similar to the epic scale orcs art.


  • well probably they'd look a hell of a lot like the digital kit, though they might have some extra head options. 


  • @timbus the thirteenth Kinda of hope they make some changes or if they do stick with that make some gun armed Dwarves dressed in clean versions of that armor to go with for a proper evil army.


  • @Brian Van De Walker Yeah, I'd like for the orcs to have more options too.


  • @Charles Tottington Personally I'm quite fond of the look with a bigger overbite and spiky helmets. Hopefully we get some choices to let us make weird little swamp dwellers as well as these more "civilized" versions.


  • @Charles Tottington It not even the options, its just that I don't see enough diffrence between them and goblins, its like they both shopped at the same Fantasyland Hottopic or something. If we are going to have this much uniformity between green skins while still having that uniformity look salvaged/broken in, I kinda of want to see clean version of said armor so we know where the orcs and gobbos got it since they don't look like they make thier own armor.

    Likewise cool as Angus Orcs are, they are kinda of being done by two other companies.
