Citadel 25mm FA32 Half Orc of grim countenance, a.k.a. Balcedron Basiliskbane

This half Orc turned Elf (Aldryami) for an early RuneQuest game, hence the bronze armour and weapons. Obviously Judge Dredd was an influence when I painted the shield.

Citadel 25mm RR9 - Mudat's Half Orc Mercenaries

December 1984, and the boxed sets were coming thick and fast. You still got 8 troops and a random leader, musician or standard bearer in the box - meaning you had to buy three boxes if you wanted all three.

My box had the standard bearer in it, but I've always liked units of 10 for armies, so I supplemented it with a C10 Half Orc as a leader.

They were also advertised as 'Mudat's Mercenary Maniacs', but they're the same thing as these.

The majority of these were based in twos, using my thick card and woodflex polyfilla bases. Some of them never got that far, or have come off in the meantime.

Chronicle 25mm CM21/N11 Giant Black Orc with chainmail and two swords

Here's another of those 'not so giant after all' Orcs from Nick Lund's Chronicle miniatures.

Not sure why I gave this one human-like eyes - perhaps he's a half Orc.

Minifigs 25mm 'Mythical Earth' miniatures

These really are ancient. Some of the first miniatures I ever bought. It was probably about 1976.

They're nothing both in stature and detail compared to today's work, but they were a start. I did have some more of these - I'm still in the process of sorting, so I'll post again if any come to light.

Thanks to DnDLead for help in recognition.

ME55 'Dwarf King and standard' flank a single ME3 from 'Strip of 2 dwarves'. These were sold in strips of multiple figures.  I broke a few knife blades on them as I recall. They're about 15mm tall.

Two shots of one of the ME12 'Two small trolls'. 

At some point he got repainted in the same livery as the above dwarves to make up numbers in a unit for Chainmail

ME4 'Wizard' The staff was both enormous and fragile.

 To be honest lots of stuff broke off.

Which is why this ME1 'Man Orc with sword' hasn't got one at all. 

 An early bit of weapon replacement from the plucky young Greblord.
