Our look at Confrontation models starts off with the new boxed set of Orc Slayers. For $29.99 you’ll pick up 5 rather large and brutal orcs that are just bent on bloodshed. All five of the models are different sculpts, which gets high marks from me and should also from anyone else that craves variety in their troops. On this page you’ll see two of the regular troops. There are two varieties of each of the styles presented here. The other two can be seen on the next page. Both carry large swords and a flail, but style one has the sword more prominently displayed while style two focuses more of your attention on the flail. Each model comes in four pieces (body, head, flail arm and sword) except for the leader who has a fifth piece. They all went together rather easily and the quality of the castings was superb. Cleanup consisted of just a minute on each of the model’s mold lines and flash was basically non-existent. A few of the heads came together on one metal casting so you’ll need to be just a little careful when separating them to avoid damage. For most of these models you’ll be left with adjusting the angle of the sword if you want to modify the pose at all. The ones with the flail as the more prominent weapon are pretty locked into the pose in which they were cast. The Orc Slayers are wearing bits of heavy metal plates and bits of chain for protection, but there’s also a very large amount of bare skin with large bulging muscles. They look like some tough hombres. Their swords would easily serve as two-handed swords in any standard human-sized model and the flails are interesting in that they look like they’re held together with lengths of braided rope or maybe hair and not chain. The leader is not holding a flail, but does hold aloft the severed head of a dwarf that he must have just recently taken as a trophy.
The other two troopers can be seen above along with the leader (top-right). The first one on this page has his flail around his back ready to start swinging it around like some kind of demented Olympic hammer-thrower and the second is in more of a ‘standing-at-attention’ pose. All of the head pieces look very nice and the leader has an especially brutal look to him. I’d certainly run away from him. I’m sure that I wouldn’t get far before he relieved my body of its head, but I’d run anyway. Thirty dollars for five models ($6.00 USD each) might make you wince just a bit, but it’s really not a bad deal especially when you consider that these five guys will point out to almost 250 points on their own. They are also useful in far more than just Confrontation as I could easily use them as orcs, not the ‘die-by-the-hundreds’ variety, in Dungeons and Dragons or they could pull double duty in an Orc and Goblin army for Warhammer Fantasy. Overall, a very good set of figures. stunties got something completely their opposite in their army, even if only for the sake of contrasting all of their other troops. Fils comes in four pieces (left hand, head, body, and steam contraption) and I found no defects on the model. Flash cleanup was restricted mostly to the body section but the mold line did need a little attention on all of the pieces. Fils is pretty well priced at around $11.00 USD, and seeing that he can fill so many roles I could not pass him up. Obviously, if you’re a player of dwarves in Confrontation and you want someone to pound the snot out of the enemy then he’s a definite ‘thumbs-up’. Even if you’re not playing Confrontation, or dwarves, he’d make an awesome ogre chieftain or maybe even a very respectable hill giant in Dungeons and Dragons or could serve as a unit leader for a group of Ogres in Warhammer Fantasy. Any way you slice it, he’s good to go. Now, on to someone from the dwarf who probably takes issue with the removal of one of his little mate’s heads. Fils D’Uren, or Son of Uren in English) is a massive model (he stands as tall as a standard ogre and sits on a 40mm base) for the dwarf army. I like that the little WWW.CONFRONTATION.FR
