How old is this Orc?

Post by thecheat231 »

When I bought a huge box full of old goblins from my friend I noticed that there were some orc ard boys from the last edition, they looked just like the Blood Bowl orcs so I decided I would convert them into a funny looking team (more on that later) but as I was looking through the box I came across some really old models that had no year in their tab, I wondered if anyone could tell me when it cam from.

Imagine flying into someone else's country and killing it's leader with a cane. And then taking all thier money. Well he's Scrouge McDuck and I guess he can do whatever the flip he wants.

well I guess I have no idea how to post pictures, so He is shorter than the current range of goblins, but looks like and orc, his jaw is very round, and is holding a standard that has no flag but is a brestplate a helmate and some gloves.

Technically you were using the IMG tags properly, but the image address inside the tags can't be pointing to your own hard drive. The picture needs to be hosted on the web somewhere, and the address to go in the IMG tags has to be an http:// URL. If you, or someone you know, doesn't already have webspace to which you could upload the picture, try something like http://www.photobucket.com, which is a free service designed for just this sort of thing.

From that description I'd say he's one of the earlier GW Orc standard bearer models - they were tiny and carried bitz of Chaos Warrior around.

http://solegends.com/citcat912/c20164orccmd.jpg at the top left is what you've got, right? IIRC, it used to be the original Maggot the Runt - a young Orcish prince/chieftain's son who left his dad's tribe to roam around with Ruglud and his Armoured Orcs (in the current version of Ruglud's Armoured Orcs, Maggot is a Goblin :P)
So yeah, it's an ancient Orc kid and therefore very, very small.
