Highland Miniatures Orcs & Goblins: The Complete Guide
Highland Miniatures Orcs & Goblins is one of the most extensive and fun armies in the catalog: 40 miniatures that combine brutal cave and mountain orcs with cunning steppe, coastal, and swamp goblins. If you play Warhammer The Old World and are looking for a proxy Orcs & Goblins army with tribal coherence, superior quality, and a reasonable price, Highland Orcs & Goblins are the most complete option on the current market.
Who are Highland Orcs & Goblins?
Highland Miniatures, founded by a Spanish couple based in Edinburgh, has developed this army under different tribal denominations: Moredhun's Orcs for the orcs, and various goblin tribes (Steppe, Coast, Swamp). The result is a visually coherent army: cave orcs with looted armor and braided beards with enemy teeth; steppe goblins with wolf mounts; swamp goblins with giant frog riders; coastal goblins with crabs as mounts.
The feeling is brutal and chaotic in the classic style, but with fresh designs that break away from the GW formula of the last 30 years.
