The confrontation range was all very pretty and shiny, they were also amazingly painted. I think I have a catalogue from 2005 some where around!
As for the chesterfields, that may have to happen!

and again GK and I are on the exact same page lol. You just beat me to it. Fancy chairs and all even xD

I dislike the pignosed, furred, babboon-like orcs from the Forgotten Realms books, like on the covers of the Drizzt novels I'm currently reading (the two swords).

YUCK:
Image

They should be greenish/grey skinned, large lower jaws with tusks, sloped forehead, mean, big, muscular.

Image

I like the GW orcs, the oldschool ones a bit more than the new ones, although those are cool as well. (savage orcs!)

Image

But in movies, I kinda like the more "human" like orcs, as in the LotR movies, those are brilliant. And the Skyrim orcs are also a good example of those.

also good:

@KK: nice model!!!! also like :)

Hmm... Movies with orcs?

Can't think of anything besides LotR.
I'd love to see GW orcs in a live action!

In the name of the king, the dungeon siege film, but they're not really orcs, legended, the 2 big orc guys that are in the kitchen, death dealer films, maybe in one of them theres an orc or something similar with very bad larp make up...

Dungeon & Dragons also had a couple of orcs in the background in the bar now that I really think about it.

I like eighties and nineties gw as orcs mostly because that is what I first encountered and they are just what orcs look like to me so when I think of orcs that is the image in my head. I think they look alittle too cartoonish especially the newer gw but they are still what comes to mind if someone says orc even though I like the look of dnd orcs or elder scrolls orcs

yeah it did, they were on screen for a whole 10 seconds maybe, worth making the puppet for!

So far it seems you all like muscley Orcs rather than sinewy.
