Wonderful stuff - and the cave orcs would do as slaves in the Chaos Dwarf list, so that's great. =)

Polar Fox Ironside Orcs (left and right), with GW Black Orcs in the middle. Very nice proxies.

Received my order of a brigade of squig herds today. I also received a bonus unit of steppe goblins.

Both were fantastic units. Some minor flash cleaning needs to be done, but excellent mini's. I must say I was surprised by the quality of the mini's. I am very demanding when it comes to my mini's but these mini's deliver.
In fact the only qualm I have about polar fox is that the pictures on the website don't do the miniatures justice.

I'll see to paint up my units and I'll post them on here. I'll also dispatch them to Alexy so if he wants he'll have some nice photo's.

If anyone is looking for orcs and goblins, I think Polar fox is a most excellent alternative and tons cheaper than finding old orcs and Goblin units on ebay. Highly recommended.

Are some of the units temporarily unavailable? The webstore seems to be missing some of the units.

Most of units are available. Just a different organising. For example - choose SG infantry first then choose an option of either SG Warriors or Beast Tamers or Grotlings and so on.

Oh dang! Sorry that was me being an idiot, I was really worried that some of the items had been withdrawn!

By the way, Bel, a member of my group used your models to expand his GW Orcs army and has high praise for your work. =)

I am glad. FB OnG army was my first love from last millenia so I've tried to keep the style.

Received a second order from Polar Fox the past week, this time with some other special bonus.

Today I finished my first miniature of them (a goblin on a wyvern), and I have to tell you guys:
The models are simply put fantastic. I really did enjoy painting it.

I'll post a picture of the goblin with the wyvern once the base is finished. It's created and it's drying now. All that needs to be done is just paint the base and add some grass tufts.

Alex, can you pm me your email address and let me know in what format you would like to receive the picture once I finish the model in case you want to use it on your website.

Very, very nice.
