Back to Wargames Foundry
Warriors of the Thousand Tribes
Back in 2010 John did 8 packs of Orcs for Wargames Foundry. The Orcs were feral pig-faced orcs, but wasn't released.
However, in 2012 the Orcs suddenly appeared the Wargames Foundry, "God of Battles" rulebook, written by Jake Thornton ISBN 9781901543278 where they are used as part of The Thousand Tribes-list.
Thousand Tribes are described as a loose confederation of tribal people how share similar believes of animistic spirits.and ancestor worship. The Pig-faced Orcs seems rather useful as such.
In the book you can find these painted samples:
To my knowledge, the following 8 packs were made:
1 Orc Command (Chieftain, Champion, Shaman, Standard Bearer, Musician)
2 Orc Warriors armed with a mixture of crude hand weapons (5 models)
3 Orc Warriors Slightly armoured, armed with a mixture of crude hand weapons (5 models)
4 Orc Warriors armed with a mixture of crude spears (5 models)
5 Orc Warriors Slightly armoured, armed with a mixture of crude spears(5 models)
6 Orc warriors with Crossbows and arrows (5 models)
7 Orc warriors with bows and arrows (5 models)
8 Orc Warrior characters (5 models - incl. Black Smith, forge, helper)
Only 4 of them (TT402 - Pig Faced Orcs, TT403 - Pig Faced Orcs Command, TT407 - Pig Faced Orcs and TT408 - Pig Faced Orc Archers)) appeared in the "God of Battles" section of [the Casting Room] site, though.
With the help of David "Dear Tony Blair" Woods and Wargames Foundry another 4 packs have been located - and the TT-list is nearly complete - a few Characters might be missing (like the Black Smith and forge were supposed having a "helper")
