For a change, I used a bunch of my Rackham Confrontation Orcs as Iron Jaws in a Warcry game. I just had to pick the biggest baddest looking Orcs from the Rackham collection to proxy in as Iron Jaws
The (not) Iron Jaws are very slow, but pretty tough.
…and the Corvus Cabal were able to out run the Orcs very easily!

Reaper Troll
This is a Reaper Miniatures Troll that I bought in America some time ago. I do like a lot of the Reaper models, but it can be difficult to find them here in England.
This Troll has been based up to compliment the Rackham Orc army. On the day I was basing this model, one of my cats shed a claw sheath so I stuck it on to the base…well, why not.
Grakkha And Kamahru
These are two “Living Legends” in the Orc Confrontation universe, Grakkha And Kamahru. They do run to a very high points cost so I don’t think I have ever actually used them in a game. Shame really.
More Orc Brutes
As I approach the end of the Rackham Orc model marathon, I found more Orc Brutes including a Brute Leader.
I will have to try to get a picture of the entire army.
There are still some more Orc models in The Loft Full Of Lead that have not yet been finished. Maybe one day.
Son Of Thunder
The Son Of Thunder is one of the more outrageous looking Orc characters. He has a huge skull of some sort with bug eyes and wings on his backpack.
There is loads of other detail on his backpack including a pumpkin and a leg of pork for supper after the battle.
Although he has a massive mean looking sword, this is one Orc who should not be thrown in combat, he is a magic user able to manipulate time with his large enchanted watch.
Jackal Trackers
The Rackham Orcs may be my favourite set of models, but the Jackal Trackers are some of my favourites within the warband. All the gear they are equipped with and the poses are just fantastic.
None of them look in a good mood and they definitely look ready for a fight.
There is a good mixture of weapons between the models and I particularly like the sword with an extra hand hold.
And when a sword is just not quite enough, or you just need to keep a nasty opponent at arms length, then a massive axe is a good bet.
Jackal Warriors
The Jackal Warriors are another good basic infantry unit for the Orcs.
They came in three different versions, swords, axes or very large hammers.
Really nice detail on these rank and file models.
Jackal Master Of Rites
The Jackal Master Of Rites is another of the low points cost basic magic users that does not really fit into my choppy choppy way of playing my Orcs. Nice model though…
Orc Warriors
These basic Orc Warriors are not much more than a speed bump for the opposing force. That does of course have its advantages as it allows the bashier elements of the warband to get in a position to charge and outnumber the enemy.
Like the Orc Brute standard bearer, the Orc Warrior standard bearer has a vulture thing going on.
Vijkhal The Brave
Vijkhal The Brave is definitely larger than your average Orc and carriers a scythe larger than the average Orc.
I do like this model, he is a no nonsense close combat Orc with a decent armour value and plenty of close combat bashiness.
