Help us with the March Epic Boss
🕑 Added 2023-02-06 22:23:26 +0000 UTC
Hey Adventurers!
Would you mind help me finding the best epic boss to suit the next release?
But first, some words on the next theme.
After working on the Faldorn Goblins the last weeks, I really wanted to get to work on some orcs.
It's a very long time i don't sculpt some of my favorite creatures of the fantasy world, and I feel that after so much time my style have changed a bit. With so much inspiration I started sketching a lot, and I ended up making some more bestial looking orcs compared to the Orc Barbarians released years ago.
I think that this specific nomad clan of orcs could be reminiscent of both Ogres and Orcs, to justify the more bestial look of this people.
Well, in the Oni release we had a fantastic character called Yoshigruzu who was half-orc and half ogre, but we never specified the name of his specie.
Half Orcs, Half Ogre
At the moment I'm calling them Orogs, but I feel that this name is too similiar to LOTR Uruks, so perhaps we will go for something more unique. You are invited to bring some name suggestions for this specific type of orcs in the comment :)
The Orogs (temp. name) are a nomad clan of half orc and half ogre of the steppe between Rotvar and Skutagaard, forced to raid villages and other orcish clan in order to survive.
Lords of the Wolves
Now, they will probably ride wolves, as I want to make some new big wolves (or worgs) that can be used both as cavalry AND monsters for your rpg campaigns, and of course as cavalry and beasts for Guilds.
The Epic Boss of the Steppe Orogs
It would be certainly fantastic to make a porwerful epic worg as epic boss for the month, but I feel that there are other options that might work aswell and perhaps excite you more.
The Epic Boss of march will be a huge beast that one of the two heroes will ride into battle, probably a powerful Orog warchief (not certain if it will appear as a male or female). It could be either a creature of their lands, or one captured by them, as long as it fit the set.
Please note that I like to make each Epic beast to really stand out as a supernatural being, so the animals in the Poll will be twisted a bit to rapresent a legendary creature of this clan.
This post will be public once the poll ends on day 10 of February 8:30 AM WET.
Once we have to votes total at that hour will sum them up with the ones from Tribe :)
Thanks friends!
I hope you are looking forward to the next release!

im curious about this mammoth now, is it similar to the Oilipants on LOTR?

Look at the older lore of bears, and how they were regarded in Europe. They weren't exactly goodly guardians of the woodlands, more... hellish beasts bent on destroying you and all you loved.
Miklos de Rijk
Yarim, it means "half" in Turkish.
YourMagnet_adult_version
I admire you! You have your hobby and you can show how it's interesting😃
R Scott Malone
Gruks, Gurks or Gorcs
John Phillips
Could we have a Giant Dire Brahma Chicken as an option instead?
Kory Kennedy
This is such a cool idea. I hope it gets noticed and added to some other future set.
Ricardo Oshonasi
It would be great if the Mongolian orc chief was like zurgo helmsmasher
Guillermo Gonzalez
Giant mystical bear? Really guys? Well it does have multiple purposes. Scale it down and its a good Druid/ranger companion or Druid wild shape.
PaBa
GREAT, really need these orcs for my next project. Hope there is a bow :)
Tristin Hauptman
Greatorcs?
Dave Stone
a powerful Orog warchief (not certain if it will appear as a male or female) FEMALE!
Stiltschen
Giant Monkey is the correct answer :)
Max
I'd love to throw in an idea not on here. After a recent trip to the Smithsonian museum of natural history, a take on the extinct ground sloth could be really cool and terrifying.
Mini Manatee
Rexxar! Half Orc/Ogre with his bear Misha :)
Martin Dickson
Steppe bear? As in something similar to the extinct Eurasian brown bear?
Mark Nold
I really appreciate the versatility. Wolf mounts become separate wolves. For the big beast I like things I can use and show off. For me that’s Maticore or Drsgons. You can’t have enough dragons :)
Michael Abraham
Honestly, I don't know why an orc would be with a bear. Bears are usually with more spiritual forest creatures like elves or dwarves. I'm not understanding why an orc would have a giant bear giant wolf or a mammoth or a rhino or something like that seems more suited to orcs even the giant yak if they were northern orcs
christophe collaine
what is the difference between worg and giant wolf ?? What do you think about WereYak of mar... ;p
BigKittyPaints
I think they would worship something of great physical size and power, similar to the way the Frostmetal Orcs had the big wooly rhino thing. I think Yak or Bear might make the most sense, I would like to see you do a bear because it is something fairly common but havent had your take on it (that I can remember) My first vote would be for monkey though, although maybe not for this faction, I would like to see your version of a giant gorilla! (maybe later)
Artisan Guild
I love making boars! Have you seen the hogs/boars coming in the blackrazor hobgoblin set? Also I made many years ago for the second release a heroic mount boar (called wulf-hog)
Doppelhänder
I’d love to see a dire boar mount in the future.
Niels Korteling
I agree, because that was not what I was commenting on. there is an overabundance of bear mounts. which is why I advicate for a less obvious mount like the mobkey or iguana. Im not saying we need a tardigrade mount for the orcs.
The test
It also says they are the Lords of Wolves, so surely a giant wolf would be cool, maybe elemental in nature like a huge frost wolf, with an icy mane and icicle fangs.
Sporf
Orog is one of the things Half orc/ half ogres are called in D&D, that and Ogrillion. But how about Logre (little ogre) or Greorcs (great orcs) or perhaps the local humans misheard and call them Grey Orcs.
Andrew Parsons
Oh that's just what I needed, thank you!
Dj Dye
Complete originality isn't always good either. In general we use terms like orcs and elves because there is a wealth of history and information behind those terms. Which makes talking about them easier. The same can be said for cultural reference within fantasy worlds.
Dj Dye
There may be an ocean of bear models BUT there are not any Epic AG bear models. I do think an Elephant with multiple trunks and pairs of tusks would be an awesome model, but I don't feel that it fits the Orog's. I'm sure AG could make it fit but...
Dj Dye
3DPaint is a free and readily available program that will let you digitally "Paint" an stl file. I have used it a couple times and it works pretty good. You can even get the Hex codes for popular paint colors and add them in so you get the actual color. And can change lighting to see how they my differ in different settings.
Artisan Guild
I'm not sure, but i sometime color one or two of them in zbrush, the software I use to sculpt. I lose the textures when decimating the model and export into stl however
Daniel søgaard Geiser
I would love to see the elephant. I dont have any scenario it fits really well. But we never see war elephants like in LotR etc. Kinda sad to see people voting mostly for bear, since there is a ocean of bear models already available.
Artisan Guild
Perhaps you wouldn't want to be on his platform too when he start getting mean haha :) I should make a kind of gorilla sometime!
Artisan Guild
Thanks for the really interesting informations! And yes, I see how bear can fit well :)
Artisan Guild
Good idea Nicholas! Thanks!
Andrew Parsons
I asked on the lens but realized it's not super conducive for actual conversation... These pics made me suddenly realize that there might be some accessible software that could open STL files and let me color them in different color schemes and figure out my colors before starting to apply paint. Is there anything out there that would let me do that?
Robb
Maloc, Magar, Mogurk? A giant, tusked woolly gorilla with huge fractured fingernails. I’m thinking there should be a platform on his back with a built in throne—you wouldn’t want to be on this guy when he starts getting mean.
Kory Kennedy
I would change my vote to Yak
Time Hunter42
Since they're primarily raiders "to survive" I think the bear fits. Bears hibernate when they don't need to be active and to conserve their energy stores, much like a nomadic tribe might settle in a particularly good area/valley for a season, only to pick up when the weather warms again. As far as names go:Ogruks - or if you want a real world analog you could go for the Migoi or Mi-go (Tibetan: མི་རྒོད་, Wylie: mi rgod, ZYPY: Migö/Mirgö) translates as "wild man". I think Yeti when I hear about these guys.
Matthew Wells
Maybe Monroc. Definitely like the idea of a werebear or totem bear. Doesn't even need to be a mount.
Scott Woods
Oops totally forgot about that dude - at this rate you're going to run out of creatures to sculpt, your collection is getting HUGE!
Marlin Statler
You’re not wrong! But I can’t wait to see your interpretation of an epic bear! Continue the great work.
John Kraemer
Might also bring up terrain opportunities, too...mythical bears seem to see a lot if use in creating whatever local "weird environmental object" exists...a good example being Devil's Tower in Wyoming, USA.
Dj Dye
It was mostly meant in jest, but I do want to see an epic bear. Many of the options we have already gotten from Andrea (tho more never hurts). I have no doubt that I will love whatever wins. He hasn't let me down for any of his releases.
François Dumont
Yeah. I thought as much. Then as a single boss or mount in a release or as a reward
Artisan Guild
I love a name like that, thanks! Looks a good name for their region :)
Artisan Guild
I love Yaks, and they fit perfectly
Artisan Guild
I see your points, but you can make sure I'll make something unique to fit the set, not a generic creature :)
Artisan Guild
Yes, would fit amazingly!
Artisan Guild
Well, these are half-orcs and half-ogre :)
Artisan Guild
Haha I imagined that King Tashokk had too many scars, skulls and spikes :) It's hard to not use those on barbaric warlords :) but thanks
Artisan Guild
Good point!
Artisan Guild
uff that would be really tight a single month to make more than 3-4 giants :O
Artisan Guild
Short and straight to the point! :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks for your comment Evan, really interesting!
Artisan Guild
That's the goal for the next set. Not totally historically accurate as it's another universe, but definitely these could be monsters of those locations in that period of time :)
Artisan Guild
:O I never thought about that!
Artisan Guild
Cool name Tobias! thanks
Artisan Guild
Thanks Atheron, *gurk is a portion i like!
Mike Childers
It was also a terrifying one to us, cuz it normally meant we might not survive this encounter
Artisan Guild
thanks!
Artisan Guild
Thanks a lot! Those combined names would work too!
Artisan Guild
Thanks Serlig!
Artisan Guild
It fit perfectly, but it's not the only right one :)
Artisan Guild
I'm not sure yet, I think more like a unique bear lord :)
Artisan Guild
I'd love to make that, but some sets really needs a remake from scratch... like Ashen Inquisitors, Fighter's Guild and few more :)
Artisan Guild
Mammoth and Elephants would fit perfectly :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks Mike! that's a cool name!
Artisan Guild
cool ideas, thanks Tim! I'll keep them for future releases :)
Artisan Guild
I can't really pronunciate the difference, however Orr'ogg, or Or-rog would be cool. thanks!
Artisan Guild
Thanks Andrew! Cool name for cool monsters!
Artisan Guild
Thanks Eric! I'll do the Mountain Dragon for sure in the future :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks John!
Artisan Guild
Thanks for the info, let's go for a unique name for these unique orc culture :)
Artisan Guild
It's perhaps too similiar to the Frostmetal Orcs I made few years ago :)
Modern Artifice
I don't disagree, but with your skills and imagination there are so many other creative "this would never be done elsewhere options" it just makes me excited for non traditional monsters :D
Artisan Guild
Looks like is a DnD name (as Orog), so let's go for something else to fit this unique culture :)
Artisan Guild
That's a super creative name! A bit long but sounds cool :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks Josh!
Artisan Guild
Just like in italian, Orso :) Sounds cool. thanks!
Artisan Guild
It looks like it's also a name used in DnD, i'd avoid having a creature with a name so similiar, I don't want to give the impressions that these are underdark orcs :)
Aurora Méndez Mazano
Gracias! Me gusta el rol y hago mapas para aventuras :) si quieres alguno para jugar te lo mando 🙂
Artisan Guild
Yes, Yak would be one of my top choice! :)
juan food
Thank you very much! I love your work, btw ;)
Artisan Guild
Ur-Got sounds awesome, thanks Duskland!
Artisan Guild
Good one, thanks Emmalee!
Artisan Guild
Black Orcs sounds cool, but I think it me reminds me too much warhammer :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks Trent, Thraug is cool!
Artisan Guild
I'll make more of those for sure :) This month I wanted to focus on another subrace... I love sculpt long-bestial faces haha
Artisan Guild
Putting "th" at the end of a name is always cool, just like Morgoth :) Orgul is really cool!
Artisan Guild
Gracias Aurora! Bonita mapas :)
Nicholas Arena
If they are nomadic raiders, I would like to see a beast pulling a supply/loot wagon. Could make for an interesting campaign element different than another "big scary monster" or "the heroes mount". Something to feel sorry for rather than scared of. Also if the hero could be the oldest and wisest rather than the strongest, that would be different and cool too.
Artisan Guild
Bear would be cool! thanks Brushbeard!
Artisan Guild
For my universe, except creatures that comes from legends and tales, I avoid names of specific brands :) But cool indeed.
Artisan Guild
I'd love to make a new one with a totally different body. Last one I made was for the Frostmetal clan :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks!
Artisan Guild
That's pretty much the name I can come up with haha :)
Artisan Guild
Haha I can't sculpt so many epic bosses in a month :O ! Thanks Ellis, Hopefully the bear is of your taste!
Artisan Guild
Thanks Chris! Fit perfectly :)
Artisan Guild
This specific variety of orc will be similiar in size to the previous one, so you can easly use them as orcs if needed (well or size up to make them ogres!). :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks James! Buffalo is similiar to Yak, which fit well I think :) bear will work too!
Artisan Guild
Would be amazing, but with 6 modular it's hard to make too much variety, because you would end up not with enough of them to make an army. I tend to use heroic slots for specific varieties :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks Akihisa! Staying healthy is my main goal and priority always :) And I'm trying to make fun sculpts :) Yes, it's true that dragons are "easy option", but I'd love to make a dragon totally themed on this release, something thick, with huge tusks, like a dragon-orc covered in fur. Something that you would not see anywhere else :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks for your information! I definitely don't want to use a used name, expecially if it's something similiar to orcs.
Artisan Guild
big powerful monkey for the win!
Artisan Guild
Drum player has already been sculpted :) It will not simple to fit the modular drum on any pose, but for one it fit perfectly :D
Artisan Guild
Amazing contribution, thank you so much Daniel! :)
Artisan Guild
thanks! Chimera are tricky, often they looks like that the parts are not well merged togheter... but perhaps I can design one who does :)
Artisan Guild
Those are good ideas, I'll save them for later :) I never did a yeti!
Artisan Guild
Would look cool! If it doesn't win I'll do one in another frozen inspired release :)
Artisan Guild
thanks! It will help :)
Artisan Guild
I love that name! But it looks like it's already taken :/
Artisan Guild
A fur covered Wyvern with huge tusks would be amazing!
Artisan Guild
Yes, you can make different varieties of totally unique dragons taking inspirations from certain animals :)
Artisan Guild
If it doesn't win, check the Frostmetal Frosthorn with the ogre on top :)
Artisan Guild
It could rip a small building! ahah I remember Ogrillon from Baldur's Gate I, i tought they were canon :)
Artisan Guild
Looks like you'll get one :)
Artisan Guild
Yes, I love wooly rhinos! I made one for the frostmetal clan, but I also like to make different designs of the same inspired creature.
Artisan Guild
Non one can have enough wyverns :)
Artisan Guild
Massive wyvern with some huge fangs and fur would be cool!
Artisan Guild
That would be really cool too, but having 3 sets with horses (thieves guild, requiem brotherhood and fighter's guild), you can just print horses from those sets for them :) I'd love to use some horses for humans of the same lands.
Artisan Guild
Yes, i like orcish subraces to have Org, Ogr, Orr and so on in their name, it really fit!
Artisan Guild
There are tons of ways to make dragons :) And I'd love to make a unique one that fit this thematic.
Artisan Guild
That's a cool beast! But dragon-ogre is really so specific of that universe :) Have you seen Astaroth the soulforged?
Artisan Guild
Haha I see your point :)
Artisan Guild
Interesting, thanks a lot!
Artisan Guild
I didn't know Orog was in DnD, it don't play it, but no problem, let's find a more unique name for this race :)
Artisan Guild
Yeah!
Artisan Guild
I agree, a different Rhino from frostmetal clan would work too!
Artisan Guild
Ok that was surprisingly cool!
Artisan Guild
Giant arthropods and insects, known as Zeeks, will be visited once again when we will be back in Area (immortal lands, now Tialevor the Tyrant-God reign there). Giant zeeks roams the ash waste there! :)
Artisan Guild
Yes, a bear would fit perfectly as the last time I did one it was for AMAZONS Kickickstarter, years ago
Artisan Guild
I didn't know this Magic theme, it looks amazing!
Dusk
The Kul'dai. If using a name for your universe, why not go wild ?
NL
I love the idea of a yak that's been trained to be a beast of war instead of farming. I can imagine its horns having armoured extensions on them.
B. Griffith
That’s just the way voting always goes. I feel ya. I honestly hate polls. Maybe because I always seem to vote for whatever comes in last, but definitely because democracy is the death of originality (in art).
Niels Korteling
Idk why most of the votes go to the obvious and generic choices. i already have so many of those, bit would love a monkey or iguana.
Samuel Thibodeau
I would love a sweet mammoth mini for polymorph reasons, also a platform on a mammoth could be sooo sweet.
Tom Fossell
Will there be "half-orcs" included by any chance? 👀
Huw Thomas
Orc Hulks or Hulking Orcs
Cydalone
+1 for the wooly rhino
demonwombatofdoom
I think maybe a complete new named based on which ever god they worship in your world. They could be a race favorite by their deity chosen to lead the smaller orcs and not as intelligent ogres. As with the Hero, would love to see a hulking muscular specimen with bulging arms, metal breastplate, bracers and greaves. 2 handed great sword with alternate helmet on/off. But please cut down on the skulls, spikes and facial scars.
Rob Rab
Grorks
Justin Henley
The real question is, why not have two heads on the epic mount?
MichaelD
Ogrkes, a rino
François Dumont
And by the way a giant release would be awesome!
François Dumont
This would be something out of the box but in the idea of the troll mount you did for the goblins, a hill giant or an ettin would be a perfect mount for orcs.
GGSigmar
The Ogrucs!
GGSigmar
Ogren is cool.
Michael Gärtner Nielsen
Orgs
Evan Lindsey
I took a look at Norse words for ice, and found the following : Snow-snaer, ice - isaz, frost - fror, and icicle - jokull. The frost giants were called Jotunn or Jotnar, the god of ice and winter was Ullr, and Skadi was the goddess of winter. The afterlife was a frozen wasteland called Niflheim, and the frost giants hailed from Jotunheim. So why not cobble something from these or something else in the Norse language. maybe in a particular region, these guys are thought of as 'lesser trolls'. As for the mount, I think that a shaggy dragon of some kind would be interesting.
Alex Márk Jármer
Great idea as always! Actually while reading your description about these species I couldn’t help it but got struck with the heavy turko-mongolic vibe for this steppe roaming tribe. I know maybe I got little or no support but it would be awesome to see something brutal even feral looks combined with as majestic clothing as the furred and lamellar heavy warcoats and armors the mongol horde used during the khaganate or the proto-rusin variants seen in the Kiyev Rus. Just imagine the terror an army of snarling orc/ogre hybrids clad in nomadic armor could raise. With recursive bows, bucklers, nasty sabers and an actual, very sinister khan or khagan as the leader or this feral horde.
Daniel Henry
Wooly Rhino seems like a great mount for half breed Ogres. Ogruks sounds ok I suppose.
László Németh
Werewolf orc with a wolf totem spirit around him/her would be great chief
Tobias
I think a wolly Rhino would fit perfect in the setting. My Name suggestion would be „Orogar“.
Atheron
How about Orcagurk for the species name? Both the "O" and the "u" would have the double dots above them. Sort-of Norse sounding...
Rasmus Bækgaard
The name could be "ocars".
Dj Dye
I like Orog, it may be trademarked by wotc though. Great Orcs, like great goblins. Ogre-kin, Ogren, Deep Orcs, High Orcs, Orkhun, Urog, Orken. I could go on, but it's a tough decision. Love the concept tho
Serlig
Maybe call them Ograun?
Dj Dye
It obvious that the bear is the right choice but it seems many don't understand... lol
Gigwo
Volibear inspired mystical giant bear? Or something like the golden compass?
Rob
Cool idea but you do bring up your old stuff any chance you will revisit some of them and update like you did with your demons?
Orakel
I take the Elefant. (I can always use another Elefant-Miniature for painting up a present for my mother.) ^^
Mike Childers
As you wore describing them I was picturing bug-bears, my old dm had a clan of ruthless banded together orcs ogres and like he called the "K'un K'hali"
Kevin Dictus
This! <3
Tim Wollweber
Oops, hit return too soon. As far as the monster you want to sculpt, I see a lot of ideas that you've already done - mountain dragon, giant troll, manticore, giant wolf, and wyvern you've already covered brilliantly, and most people could just enlarge their prints of those things if they really wanted a larger version of something like your wyvern. I'd suggest a monster you haven't done yet, like a Chimera or a Cockatrice, or something like a Jabberwocky. I would love to see your take on those, and maybe the Chimera could have a couple alternate heads, since so many Chimeras have 3 heads but are different beasts - lion heads, bird heads, goat heads, dragon heads, I'm sure there are other Chimera heads I'm not remembering. Chimera would honestly be my vote were it there.
Tim Wollweber
I really don't mind that Orog sounds like Uruk - there's plenty of fantasy names that are derived from other fantasy stuff, it helps people identify uncommon terms more easily. Every big name in miniatures does it, including the biggest, GW. Maybe spell it something like Oroggs, or O'rogg.
Andrew Chenery
Hey Andrea we call the Half-Ogres in our D&D campaign Orkul - a completely home-made name but one the players now fear ;)
Eric Obara
The concept art was great.
Eric Obara
Fingers crossed for the chunky dragon from the old days, back when we voted on 3-month rewards.
John Kraemer
But hasn't he already fond frost orcs?
John Kraemer
I do like the idea of wargs; but honestly, there's something hugely epic about giant spirit bears.
Adrian
If you do the mammoth, how about a howdah, or even a giant rider?
Rusty Baker
Oh I just read Erik's post do ogrillon.
Rusty Baker
I actually like Orog. Makes me think of second edition DnD. They use to have half ogres/orcs.
Robin Blair
Orog is also a type of Orc in the Dungeons & Dragons lore/books already, so you may want to avoid that. Bharog, or Barogh maybe? Especially if they end up riding bears.
Dee Bernaers
Frost Orcs, that's what the Orcs call their bigger ogre like brethern who dwell on the snowy peaks in my homebrew setting. :>
Erik Watts
Is Ogrillon not an option?
Andre Vo Nyseth
Since they are a mix of Orc and ogre, basically giant-kin; Orc-Giant-Ogre. Mix all the letters and one result is: Oogric'Tegran 😊👍
Josh Tomlinson
Love the idea of a huge bear, I feel that’s fitting for a orc/ogre hybrid too. I don’t think it matters if a name sounds similar to something from another franchise, I think Orogs is fitting!
Purrfect-Blinky
I would perhaps tie the name in with the beast that will be chosen. For example if the bear becomes the basis, it might use Latin/Fantasy names for it like URSA. Which can combine nicely with the Orc/Ogre Sounds...
Ramiro Carrasco Jr.
I actually like the name "Orogs". It's very fitting and self explanatory so I would prefer it if you named them that. Besides who cares if it's a bit similar to LOTR?
OOGAFunk
I think they already made a wooly rhino, Frost Metal Clan I think it was.
Hobby Hermit
As for a name I like “Korrug” it has the same vibe but differentiates itself enough. I really like the idea of the Bear or Yak for the Mount/mystical beast
Duskland
I really want a Wooly Rhinoceros. Mammoths are common, rhinos not so much. I’m also a fan of hyphenated names, so how about the Ur-Got.
Michael Bradley
Black Oricks
Michael Bradley
@jay peake I like the Black Orcs.
Emmalee Stanwood
Hoping the Bear outlasts the other options. For a species name, I think "Orkonos" would be fitting. Has familiar elements, but doesn't land too close to already established names.
Jay Peake
Id have called them Black Orcs as they were always larger than normal orcs. more heavily armoured. Uruk Hai in LOTR were just like black Orcs
Trent
Think alot of the name sugestions are leaning into the "o" territory. I will say how about "Thraug" for a race name.
Rexidus
I just wanted to voice my opinion that the orcs you did in the past are so cool that they were one of the reasons I joined. I've been waiting and hoping to get more of them ever since. So I'm sad that you are changing them.
Aichlinn
I agree about the name being a bit similar to LOTR. I like it though. Maybe Orgul/Urgul. That has a similar vibe to me. Orgroth sounds like ogre and ork but also feels powerful with a kind of menacing vibe. Olgor sounds like ogre too, but also feels brutal and violet with the inclusion of the 'gore' sound. Those are some ideas.
Aurora Méndez Mazano
Se me ocurren, Morkron o Morkhron, introduce la palabra orco en inglés y al final la pronunciación recuerda a la palabra ogro.
MaximumBeard
I feel like we've already had a few of these animals as epics, so I vote bear. As for a name? Maybe something that sounds heavy, Orgoc or something like that.
Lifted_Survivalist
Thinking of a name like Rocgree is my submission.
MaximumBeard
That would fall under copyright though. Shame, it's a cool name
Kyle Simmons
Go mammoth!
miked0227
If you go by D&D lore there is already a name for half orc half ogres, they are called Ogrillon. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ogrillon
Ken Hale
Armored wholly rino.
Andre McInnis
How about using an anagram made from all the letters in ogre and Orcs, such as "Crogore"
Whiskeyjack
Names... huge + orcs + ogres = horkre ? Or huge + ogre + orc= hogork?
Ellis Meredith
I want to see all of those options! 😂 I feel like something off the wall would be a lot of fun, but it looks like Bear is winning and I am just fine with that!!! I am excited to see your Bear!!!
Chris Saulnier
I'm getting a Conan the Barbarian Picts vibe. Bulky, heavily muscular, probably pale or a light greenish tinge, and say in the range of eight feet tall with top knots and body paint/tribal tattoos. the war mammoth would go well with that vision.
Lars Sundstrom
Love the pics. Little bit iffy about the half orc half ogre riding wolves. Half orc half ogre I would assume to be quite big. Wolves kind of small, would prefer yaks!!! Big strong. Yak chariots too!
James Harrison
I went with bear because all the other ideas, Andrea hs already done :D if anything I would say maybe a giant bison/buffalo. EDIT: he hasn't done all but a bear fits the landcape better in my opinion.
AV1DGamer
Ogrin or Ogre-kin works well. Thought I would be cool to have the tribe be comprised of different half orcs variants gathered from the raided villages as orcs tend to cast out or imprision halfbreeds. Opportunity to reflect other half-orc or half-ogre subspecies.
Akihisa Futjimoto
OK first: Awesome that you let use chose! Secondly: Urch! We got the option for some realy rare and different stuff like giant iguana or Manticor mount and the dragonlovers take it away. 😐 Its like putting something against werwolfs and/or vampires, who allways will be pickt over different, crazzy stuff that's not so widely known. So please for the future. Don't let coole and rare stuff comped against "the save option" = basic fantasy stuff that everybody knows. Or we will probably never see the realy rarly or even never before used stuff. Still I love you guys, I never regret to be your patreon for all this time now. Awesome shit! Hope you still have fun and stay healthy. 🤙
William Schuchman
Orogs might get confused with 5e Orogs that are basically better orcs but live in the underdark. I was thinking something like Bellowbog but I don't feel confident in that name since they are not Swamp Half orc half Ogres.
John West
King Kong!
Mahal
I can't really help with the name, but wanted to chime in that there's a serious lack of orc models for any type of bard or performer, and it would be great to have some representation there - shaman, oral story teller, drum player etc.
Daniel Beam
The yak sounds cool and unique, so that’s my vote. As for the name, if they’re based on the Mongolian steppe, you could use that as a basis. “Tribe of Giants” in Mongolian is “avarga ovog”, which could be collated to “Avoga” or “Ovaga”.
Mini Manatee
I picked Elephant as a War Elephant for a barbarian Orc tribe sounds awesome (also very LoTR, though I maybe off track as you did list it as a 'Mystic' elephant - but it wont win this vote anyway haha). Of the three leading choices currently - the Bear is my pick. The Rhino and Mammoth options remind me too much of the Frostmetal clan Rhino/Mammoth mix you made (which is awesome) Would love to see a Chimera done in your style one day!

Orogs are a d&d breed of orcs. And ogrillons are an orc/ogre mix. Maybe play on the orc god “Gruumsh” name something like Gurushi or Grumshar? Wyvern is classic orc warlord mount but maybe some kind of yeti or a dire boar (all spikey)?

Mammoth for sure, it's something new and will definitely be unique to this set

Something I don't think works linguistically but sounds amazing to me is the Greek okhra which is just the color ochre which I got from ogre with a C from orc.
Danilo Cruz
Orog sounds nice.

I went Wyvern. Please place some large teeth or tusks on the wyvern to keep the big tooth theme.
Hans-Walter
Ogrorc, simple as f*** 🤣 For the epic beast, as we've already seen a sort of rhinoceros in the Frostmetal clan, i would assume that a mammoth (or a wyvern, maybe in a sort of WoW style like your) will fit magnificent 😉 maybe also a dragon like the proto ones would fit
Joe
A Rhino/ orc combo would be amazing.
Casey Chelette
There is a homebrew race called "The Ogrillon" They are the result of a coupling between an Ogre and some other race, usually orcs. And I am all for a GIANT SIEGE RHINO! Out on the steppe plains it would allow the rhino to achieve maximum speed before just plowing into anything and everything. I imagine that it could rip a caravan apart in a single pass.

There are thousands of dragons and wyverns available. I’d rather have other creature like the wolf or the bear
Marlin Statler
Love the idea of a bear, would have voted wyvern, but we already have an epic looking wyvern.
Anthony Dauphin
A fur Rhinoceros (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolly_rhinoceros) would be great! As for the name Orog...he is cool IMO!
Kevin DeCoster
Sounds awesome! A brutish Wyvern like a Maw-Krusha would be sick.
The Disgustinator
Absolutely love the aesthetics of these guys. I may be alone here but I really think a horse mount would suit these best. I'm getting a real horsemen/nomads of the steppes vibe from the art. Would love to see mounted archers. And big yes to a giant bear.
Dragon Daddy
Orkgre.
Leviathan
Every possible word beginning with Or or Ogr works, so I'll suggest a name that orc/ogre society might call their halfbreed offspring and I noticed in the teaser and the oni hero: Underbites.
Modern Artifice
surprised with such complicated and detailed models from this team, people still just want dragons.
Scott Woods
A massive dragon-ogre would be epic for this tribe IMHO https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/monster/images/d/d0/A44C99ED-4C1D-45DE-8E1C-5745D2004096.png/revision/latest?cb=20180511192948

Do something unique, too many dragons, rino or mammoth would be be cool

You probably want to avoid the name Orog, as that's very similar to Olog, which is the name in Lord of the Rings for Trollfolk in Mordor. All of the really big boys you see mixed in with the Uruk'Hai are Olog'Hai.
Mr. Satan, the World Martial Arts Champion and the Earth's protector
Is the name Orog covered under the OGL, otherwise it fits well with using them for a dnd/pathfinder game! Also a Giant monkey sounds awesome to me
Bryn Davies
Given we've already had both Wyverns and Dragons in previous sets, a yak or rhino would rock and stand out.
Clint Buchhauser
A mammoth or bear seems fitting
Vincenzo Gatta
A massive reptile with a ape like body posture
Miles Lewis
I don't see it listed here but please visit bugs or insects at some point

This seems like a perfect place for some Khans of Tarkir beasts. Siege rhino go!
Eventide Saga
Worc-Garogs. I am crossing my fingers for a bear. A bear definitely fits the Slavic theme these guys have going on. Also, I haven't seen you do a bear creature yet, and I'd dig your spin on one.
