Hardcore Miniatures Orc Nobs: Unboxing

Especially with the way certain companies are pricing their minis lately. Hardcore Miniatures has really stepped up their game and greatly expanded their line. Rob takes a quick look at their site and all they offer. It is really easy to navigate and full of great minis.

These aren’t the cheapest out there, but they are so full of flavor and just make your army that much cooler. These can be assembled in so many ways, so with all the bits, you could make your very own unique minis. It has over 50 parts for crying out loud!

The Bits

The resin is super high-quality and seems to be pre-washed. You can see the detail in every piece and everything is very well made.

Their pieces are also very consistent in quality and fit together very well. If you do need help with building, he does have instructions on his site.

Built Orcs

There are barely any spaces to fill or lines to trim. Overall the minis are super detailed and look great when put together. Also, since there are so many parts, you can basically make any style you want.
