Here are some pics of our new Orc variants, just received from Kev Adams:

Command Pack 2, featuring a sub-chief, a bodyguard and a second shaman.

Image
2 new archers to go with the original one.

Image
2 new crossbowmen with the original.

They're all available for pre-order, at discounted prices, at http://www.otherworld.me.uk/soon.html, along with the Paul Muller gargoyles and Kev's Bugbears.

Are the discounted prices just for pre-orders, or is this a holiday sale, etc.?  If the latter, how long will your sale be going? :D

The discounted prices are for pre-orders only, and will be available until the end of the year.

I will certainly be buying the only pieces I am missing - the two barbed devils and the new bugbears and gargoyles.

However, I purchased the original orc pack and am NOT in need of "more" orcs...how many more orc variants can you do when there are other miniatures out there that have never been done and are screaming to BE done? Please don't get me wrong...I love Otherworld minis, and have added this line to the list of "AD&D" minis I collect. But I don't need an orc standard bearer and different variants of each particular orc!

How about the minotaur people were talking about in earlier threads? Or perhaps more monsters TSR never made?

Just making a suggestion. But I don't think I will be ponying up more money for MORE orcs. The original pack was sufficient.

For what it's worth, thanks for listening, anyway...

Those who put together entire armies...they need special pieces, command sections, officers and the like.

Don't listen to me, however.  I am not a miniature collector.

Okay I have thought of a few miniatures for your range:

1.  Minatour as commented.  It seems hard to get good minatours, I only really like the proportions of the GW AD&D range minatour.  The others they have produced are not great.

2.  How about a Manticore?  Again difficult to find a good manticor.  I would love to see one that looked like the one on the cover of S2 White Plume Mountain.

3.  Gnomes.  very few good gnome figures.  a couple of fighters, a thirf and an illusionist should do it.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the suggestions.  Yes, we'll do a minotaur sometime soon, and a manticore is also on my list.  Gnomes are a definite possibility too.

great stuff, i've bought or preordered everything you have done so farso consider these sold!

Please bear in mind the S2 manticore.  From the figures I have seen they seem hard to get right.

How about an ogre with a two-handed sword?  That was their theoretical weapon of choice (d10 damage) back in the day.
