| Not my paint job but I like the look of it. |
UPDATE: (6-22-17): After a bit of an adventure he finally arrived from the UK.
While my first love for miniatures is and remains Citadel/Games Workshop (despite my love/hate stance with the company) I have recently been looking at other lines. One that caught my eye a few months back was Otherworld Miniature.
Currently, I am in the middle of working on multiple armies and terrain for Warhammer; enough to keep me busy for years. But while looking for art of a male half-orc assassin for D&D I came across the guy below. I finally decided to take the plunge and have since purchased the mini below and I am waiting on its delivery: DAD10 – Male Half-orc Assassin.
Really looking forward to this guy and getting some paint on him. Perhaps my next character in an AD&D game? I really like the look of the example above too. Half orcs have never been portrayed well in terms of miniatures in my opinion, this one however does quite well.
As an aside I also like the look of Dragonrune Miniatures from the early 2000s which have a strong Warhammer influence. I found them around 2001 as far as I can recall. I have been seeing more of them popping up on eBay lately. The ogres are especially appealing. The company did not last all too long but can now apparently be procured from Armorcast. Perhaps a topic for a different day as I really like the look of the ogres.
EDIT: In 2023, Otherworld Miniatures sadly closed shop. Some of the line was picked up by Crooked Dice and Badger Miniatures fortunately. I say that because I was able to get the Demon Idol set from them.
