So what is a 'Titan Orc'. Taken from the old website, "The Titan Orcs are not your average Orc. Selective breeding between Ogres and Orcs has created this large and vicious super race of Orcs, highly suitable as leaders, champions and as thoroughly nasty thugs, they are valued for their ability to control armies of smaller Orc, but also often form their own large Orc warbands."

Uzghul Titan Orc Commander has a height foot to eye level 35mm. This makes him one big miniature.

There are a few things I like about this figure. The first is the size. It's often hard to appreciate orcs in a standard game after a long period of time. With many game systems using a point base or allowing orcs to be more than 1 HD monsters, it's no longer the case of worrying about a whimp but rather, having a miniature to portray how powerful the orc in question is.

Having a one piece orc that's larger than the standard figures from the D&D Miniatures line and even larger than the standard orc brutes in the Confrontation line, goes a long way in making a figure that has utility right off the bat.

This one has a massive shield and sword. The sword is held almost at attention while the shield is a massive thing of iron and steel with the prototypical evil skull upon it.

The orc's body is clad in plate and chain. His skull protected by a metal cap with chain flaps. His lower portion protected by plates and chain with the every typical evil skulls hanging from tassels.

The only thing I don't like about the figure, and it's pretty much a signature of the scultor, is that the eyes are out, not in. This makes it a lot easier to paint them, but at the same time, can give the orc a bug eyed apperance if you're not ready for it.

I bought mine (two of 'em!) a long time ago from the wonderful Dragglestown/Discount Hobby website, but they haven't been selling them for some time. Games Plus in Mt. Prospect also carries a few of 'em, but I suspect the main source of them these days is probably right from the old Olleys army site itself, http://www.olleysarmies.co.uk/orcstore.html .

If you want to surprise your players with some orcs that aren't to your typical scale, maybe some orc-ogre breeds (orogs anyone), then these figures are perfect for you.
