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 978-1-901543-27-8 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")
