So I didnt read most of this thread but I wanted to show you guys what the wargames factory actually brings to the table.
One thing I thought was really cool with the set was the cool flail. For 22 dollars, or 13.40 GBP and 16.15 Euros, you get like they advertise 24 bodies to make orcs. Wow, less than a dollar per figure HINT HINT some other companies!! LOl
Anyway, for that you get 8 sprues meaning:
-8 giant spear/axe type weapon
-16 2 handed axes(2 variants)
-8 single handed axes
-8 flails
-8 orc bows
-8 quivers for arrows
-32 hand weapons(3 are swords 1 is like a wood stick with a blade the size of dagger on end)
-8 swords that look like theyre in holster(good for bow models)
-16 shields(2 variants)
And in general, you get two bodies per sprue, soooo...
-10 arms per sprue which means you get 6 extra
-7 heads per sprue which means 5 extra
-3 torsos, so 1 extra
A LOT for the price. and the look fits perfectly with the Hobbit/LOTR so I rate this product an easy 9/10. Even their poses are kind of hunched over so they look like the orcs in the movies.
Heres just a mostly built orc to show one, but it doesnt do it justice. You can check out wargamesfactory.com for painted looks.
Next are the viking Huscarls. They are going to be my on foot and converted Sons of Eorl. I never planning on using them in a tourney, they dont have foot models, and I honestly believe that most rohan models look terrible.
So heres one pic to compare the scale to a morannon orc. This one viking is in an action pose, so he looks a little big by comparison. BUT DONT WORRY, because that was the tallest pose..... the other ones were more hunched and not charging on 1 foot but I liked this model.

For the sprues, you get 32 figures for the same price as the orcs^^.
You get 8 sprues each including:
-4 bodies
-24 arms(16 extra each)
Then for weapons you get 4 sprues containing in total:
-32 shields
-8 longbows and 8 quivers
-48 heads(meaning 16 extra for those nasty rohan models...)
-16 spears
-4 long spears
-16 axes
-4 war horns
-16 swords
-12 swords in sheathes
The heads are great for Rohan, or Dunlendings as well:
How big it is in comparison to LOTR models:
Finally, I bought something they have on sale now. Persian infantry sprue bundles. Buy some while they last! I bought ten!
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/webstore ... n-infantryEach bundes(6 sprues for 2.40 usd!!!!!)contains a couple bodies you can use as Men of Dunland or something similar, but also the following
-6 large rectangle shields
-6 orc looking shields
-6 single hand axes
-6 daggers in sheath(good for characters with throwing knives)
-6 elven looking bows with quivers
-6 spears
-6 swords/daggers looking things. Can be used as both probably
Personally, I can use all the regular weapons for anything, but Im mainly buying these for Corsairs. The large shields are the perfect size for Corsair Arbalesters(oop). I have bowmen I can convert without hunting them down.
And the heads are cool.....you can use them for Harad and 1 looks good for rohan or wild men of dunland again.
All in all, a fantastic purchase! Great stuff they sell. Hope you guys have 100% clarity on what you think you'll get from them if you order. After this purchase, I would not hesitate to order anything from them again.
