Hi Lord Marcus.
It took me more time than expected, but here you are, a small review of Dark Alliance Half Orcs Set 4.
It is the first time I write a review, and of course I will be inspired by the excellent Plastic Soldier Review site.
The Dark Alliance Half Orcs Set 4 contains 4 sprues of 11 minis, that is 44 figures.
Even if they are called Half Orcs, this minis represent Uruk Hai, after the second film of the Lord of the Ring trilogy, the Two towers.
On each sprue, 6 figures have a sprue, 4 are supposed to climb a assault ladder, and one represents a dead berseker.
The second mini on the top row seems to be a leader. A nice pose, but his weapon is strangely bended, so you will have to modify it to get something physically acceptable.
Poses number 3 on top row and number 4 on the second row represent bersekers - wild, even crazy fearless warriors. The best minis of the set in my opinion, the reason why I bought it.
Pose number 4 on the second row is the sacrified berseker who must fire the bombs meant to break the wall of Helm's Deep - a heroic scene in the movie, something like an orcish olympic champion bringing the evil fire to its aim despite the arrows of his foes (human in the book, elvish in the movie).
I don't know if the word "accuracy" is convenient in this case, but we must admit that the minis catch the spirit of the movie very well - so, yes, let's speak of accuracy, but not historical accuracy
There is some flash on these sprues, which is a bit difficult to remove due to the soft material the minis are made of.
Nevertheless, this is an interesting set, very useful for those who want to recreate the scenes of the assault on Helm's Deep. And it is a must for those (like me) who badly wanted to paint bersekers!
