(Witness also the Oathmark shield on the Em4 spearman). Incidentally, the sheer quantity of spare weapons in the Oathmark box are most useful for replacing old or missing weapons on other orcs. He stands just a tad taller than the Em4 due to his integral base, but would happily mix in well with either range. The Oathmark figures are a little more sharply defined, which is to be expected as they are some decades newer, but at tabletop distance this is irrelevant. The weapons are comparable in size, and they even share a facial expression. The Mithril Orc sits well enough with both the Em4 and Oathmark figures. From left to right: Em4 Spear-Orc, Mithril MM151 Mordor Orc, Oathmark Goblin, Em4 Orc Archer All are based to the same thickness, on 25mm squares, except the Moria Goblin on a Citadel Slotta, and the Ruglud’s Armoured Orc on a transparent circle. Build and bulk are somewhat more important, as well as the exaggeration (or lack thereof) of pertinent features. Height is not the most important consideration here, for Tolkien’s orcs come in more than one variety. As a follow up to the previous introduction of the Bakshi Orc, and pursuant of several queries, here is a brief comparison of several Orc/Goblin miniatures from various manufacturers, from a selection of Orcs that happen to be scattered among the thoroughfares and foundries of the Lead Mountain, some of whom will be joining the ranks of the Bakshi warband, and some who serve different masters.
