I saw this new box set of Frost Grave Cultist knights and thought they could make great orcs. Sure enough, they are ragged with brutal weaponry, very orcy.
They also have corroded, pitted armour and weapons, which again makes them ideal for Goblin folk.
I went back to my old favourite heads for these figures, the Warlord games plastic orc ones. Not only did they look the best but they had a ball neck joint that fitted perfectly into the new Frost Grave torsos.
They stand a little straighter than other plastic sets so could make good Half orcs. The first in the line here uses the head and arms from an Oathmark orc set, just for variety.
Amongst the new cultist set was this nice cloaked torso. This is too nice to waste on orc filth, so I turned them into warriors from Cardolan.
The flowing robes looked great for a ranger type character.

Great stuff. Wondering if you've looked at Fireforge's Almughavars? They'll make great kitbashing fodder for either orcs or cardolan rangers. I use mine as my standard medium armored soldiers, alongside the Oathmark light and heavy human infantry kits.
Oh right, I'll get a sprue and have a look, thankyou .
