We are going to show you everything that the set comes with, how long they take to build, and some size comparisons. That way you can decide if these are worth your hard-earned hobby dollars.
Hardcore Miniatures Orc Characters: Unboxing & Build
It’s always cool to see smaller companies growing and branching out. Especially with the way certain companies are pricing their minis lately. Hardcore Miniatures has really stepped up their game and greatly expanded their line.
When they put things on pre-order, they always put them on sale so that is a good time to pick them up.
For models, this awesome and handcrafted, the price really is great (the mini we’re looking at today is only $15) for the level of craftsmanship and detail. They have so many parts, that all you need is another torso and you can make a bunch.
Daddy Entity
The bits come wrapped in these little baggies and we’ve never had issues with anything really breaking. Sometimes they come off, but we’ve never had any damage. There are usually a few weapons and head variants with them and are all just super high quality.
They go together really well and just look sweet and are full of detail. The only thing to be wary of is the little skull necklace because it’s a little fiddly. The detail is just hard to beat on this!
The scale looks pretty good when compared to a Primaris so no issues there.
Bullet Masta
The amount of bits that come with this one is just wild. This has 46 pieces, so if you want options, this is the mini for you.
Talk about Dakka! This version of the mini is awesome and will scare the enemy away before he even has to fight!
The crazy part is this is from the same kit, meaning you can build a ton of these off the sprue and get all your leaders with this kit.
He could either be used as a nob or character because of the size.
More Orcs!
Rob went with the Voodoo Daddy version instead of the Joker one, but either looks great.
All the Grots are just amazing and super fun minis to pick up for a few bucks.
