I have a strip of the Kallistra ones on my desk, looks like the orc back right with the shield, the strips don't have the shield boss but are otherwise identical/

Had a rummage - the ones I have, have cloaks on, so a third variant!

I'm pretty sure these came from a command pack.

I see I though since the Kallistra ones had shields, they were different and modelled on one of the Pendrakens,

I'll check with Kallistra that the shields are separate

Thanks Pierre - that is really helpful. 

That is a lot of Germans! I think when the dice in the bag activation mechanic was popularised by Bolt Action, we looked at using it in a number of different games, and I played with some of the statistics, and I think things skew quite a bit towards the side with more activations. It's perhaps a little different with cards that are tied to specific units, but runs for a side with more chits where definitely a thing. 

I am also interested in how you have constructed your deck, as it's a bit different to how I create them. 

HQs, Infantry Battalions and Cavalry Squadrons look the same. 

Artillery - I go with one card per gun, not per group of guns. We do find artillery strong, perhaps grouping them could help, they would roll a lot of dice, but it would be only at a single target. 

Blinds - with two cards, how does this work, are the blinds in groups, or is it like HQs that just the first one counts?

Tea Break - with two cards, is it the first that triggers the end of the turn, or do you need both? We've always played with one, but with dice in the bag we have tried that with two end of turn markers and needing to pull both. 

They Don't Like it Up Them - do you modify the rules for this at all - as we very rarely have SR 3 or 4 units this would have no impact on most games.

They look very familiar to me. I think they are Kallistra ones, perhaps from the command pack as they are single based.

Edit - yes Kallistra - there is a whole pack of these

Apologies in advance if I've nicked someone's picture but I've been trying to find some 10mm orcs holding spears in both hands

I'm wondering if these are Pendraken?



 I can't seem to see them in the Goblin section? I'd like to order a half dozen among some other bits if custom orders are still an option?

Love to but 4 hrs driving seems a bit much
