Here is an orc I forgot to include in my Orc Army. A friend pointed out that the Gamorrean Guard figure from the Star Wars Command series makes an excellent orc. I only have a couple of these figures. Not enough for army building, but he does make a fine orc. He is about 45mm. He comes in the Rancor Revenge set which also includes a Rancor that works as a fantasy monster.
I remember thinking "why is there an orc in a sci fi movie" the first time I saw Jedi. Well, I am glad for it now.
Yeah your right about the Orc looking figures, I will have to get some of these.

Yes, good call on the Orcishness of my favourite space pigs. That Rancor looks pretty good too!
ReplyDeletei bought this set last year,it 's great. ew
ReplyDeleteYa, its been out for a while, I just forgot about it until a friend reminded me.
DeleteI just got this set 2 weeks ago from amazon for cheap. Only comes with two Gamorrean Guards. But the Rancor is sweeet!!
ReplyDeleteThe whole line is pretty cool and it's too bad it was so short lived.
ReplyDeleteI mean, come on, Star wars Army Men! What's not to love?
I've actually used a vintage Star Wars Gamorrean Guard as an orc with LJN's AD&D figures.
ReplyDeleteAre you at all familiar with D&D-style gaming miniatures? How would those SW Command Gamorreans measure up to a heroic scale pewter miniature like Reaper's?
Your guess is a good as mine. I am not into D&D style minis except in the rare cases where they are large enough to fit with toy soldiers.
DeleteWell I'm less familiar with toy soldiers, I just know my DFC demons and gargoyles are a tad taller than my human heroes.
DeleteI did a quick measure and a reasonable size for a "heroic scale" orc miniature would probably be around 1.5" tall without the base factored in. Are the SW Command Gamorreans close to that height?
