Shieldwolf Miniatures: Exclusive Preview of Upcoming Hard Plastic Valley Orc Warriors!


Shieldwolf Miniatures has just send in this exclusive Valley Orc preview showing one of the five fantasy armies that will be funded through Kickstarter! The core of the troops will be produced in hard plastic as their previous Mountain Orc set which is excellent by the way. You can find our thorough review here to judge yourself!

The heroes and monsters of the Valley Orc faction will be cast in their highly detailled polyurethane resin such as most of their current range. To check the quality of their resin castings you can check out our illustrated review of their Great Wolf Chariot!

"...At times the King himself would take a handfull of faithful warriors and head over to the Kingdom of Talliareum to pilage the villages. But what made this Orc different, was that instead of killing everyone in his path, he kidnapped Humans of certain crafts, like blacksmiths and architects. 

He enslaved them and had them work for him. This was very strange behaviour for the Orcs and they initially thought the King was going mad. Aburgoth wasn't called The Terrible for no reason however and obviously no-one dared challenge him. 

As time passed, the Valley Orcs came to appreciate what they were learning. Their weaponry became better and their towers didn't risk crumbling any longer when a fierce storm hit their settlements. With time, the greenskinned warriors developed such an arsenal that no other Orc faction could match. Heavy armored warriors who would create an impenetratable thick shieldwall and when close enough would engage the enemy to deliver them death... "

I'm already looking forward in seeing more previews about what seems to be a huge and exciting kickstarter campaign by Shieldwolf Miniatures, the talented and creative Greek wargame company!
