Darnok Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Who else got thinking about using old O&G models to count as Kruleboyz? We still have only an incomplete picture of the Kruleboyz range, but I see quite a lot of options for using older miniatures. Orcs with spear and shield, check. Orc boss on foot or mounted, check. Orc shaman, check. Some goblins on foot, check. Spearchucka, check. Hell, even the "crossbow Orcs" are covered by older models, have a look here. Sure, it will not be for everybody, and some cases might only be covered with a bit of handwaving. Still, to me it feels like a reasonable option for those who want to give the rules a try while not being interested in the new models (like me). What is your take on this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 For myself, it's the opposite. I love the design ideas of old orcs, but dislike metal and the sculpts have aged quite a bit. The new orcs are them, but in a better material and with better detail. But if you want to go for it, go ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmGandix3 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 If the size is comparable (probably some higher bases) and they are easily recognizable this should definitely be fine. I have a soft spot for my old wyverns( old azhag, new azhag and the wyvern inbetween) and hope there will be something comparable in size so I can use them. Rugulds armoured orcs are a unit I really like but was never able to get. Id love to see old models on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Kruleboyz are the closest thing to old orc & goblins in AoS: you should give a try. Gutrippaz > Orc boyz with spear Hobgrot > Common goblins Botboyz > Ruglud armoured orcs Boltskewer > Spearchukka Killaboss > Warboss Killaboss on gnashtoof > Warboss on boar Murnob with banner > Bigboss standard bearer Shaman > Shaman Mirebrute troggoth > Giant This is a size comparison Spoiler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnok Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 That's what I thought @cyrus, Thanks a lot for that size comparison! I had yet to see the new models next to older ones, really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warboss Gorbolg Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 In general I think that original O&G are best as savages stand-ins. There is a 1-1 equivalent for most units, right down to weapon configuration on the Orc side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
