Diehard Miniatures' Orcs Have Gone Live on Kickstarter

The new Kickstarter campaign from Diehard Miniatures is now live.

Entitled Orcs Gone Wild!, the campaign is off to a great start, having already attracted a shade over £3,200 worth of pledges with a target of £4,000. It’s easy to see the attraction, with the campaign featuring no less than 30 excellent new orcs. These include a limited edition orc shaman, five goblin familiars and five new infantry units including a command section and warriors armed with hand weapons, spears, crossbows and bows.

Four intricately painted orc miniatures stand against a light blue background. The first orc on the left wields a spiked mace and has a skull at its feet, while the second orc, wearing a horned helmet, holds a large axe. The third orc, prominently displaying green skin and wearing a decorated tunic, gestures with its hands, and the fourth orc carries a banner adorned with skulls and a scorpion motif. Each figure showcases detailed armor and accessories, highlighting their unique characteristics.

Backers can also avail themselves of a wealth of extras. Drawn from Diehard’s growing catalogue, these include Hardbirff Side Splitter and his Black Hill Boys, various familiars, orc mercenaries and a trio of characterful single figures including a cave troll, an orc champion and a goblin spellcaster. There are also some excellent sculpted shields to be had.

See the Kickstarter campaign for more details.

Swansea, Cheese and Dave Hedgehog: Ugly, Lovely City Gets Its Comic-Pop-Con on

Does Swansea get a bad rap? Dylan Thomas backhandedly called it an "ugly, lovely town" a compliment that works when you're the long dead local poet more famous than the charmingly defiant city itself.
