A very poor representation of an orc. The green skin is way too bright; almost neon. The pose is bad. The orc looks too comical, like it came out of a cartoon rather than fantasy art. Its proportions are off. It looks almost Shrek-like. I don't like the fur cloak either. There are much better orc miniatures available than this one.
Everybody needs orc minis. It's an unalterable fact of life. And when orc minis are as good as this, that need can be filled with style.
The sculpt is exemplary. This is a big, burly, angry boy with lots of detail on both body and equipment. The face has lots of character, marking the figure out as a good leader or barbarian.
While the colors choices are good, what keeps me from giving this bad boy five stars is that the skin is so undifferentiated (a common failing among this set). When there's so much of one color in evidence, WizKids really needs to consider using a drybrush or wash to add some contrast. The problem here isn't as bad as it is on the ogre, for example, because the sheer area isn't as great, but it's bad enough that it detracts from the overall presentation of the piece. Hopefully future sets will correct this deficiency.
Overall, this is an very good piece, and a solid pickup whether bought as a single or a random.
The second mini to be added to my collection, really glad I got him as I needed orcs for my new campaign that I'm starting, can't wait to collect all 40.
This mini shows that not all of the great sculpts went on goblins. The two orc figures in the set are both top-notch as well. This one is my favorite of the two - in my top five for the set.
