Now, let me preface this post with things I believe to be true.
Support Mike. Nexus is the best hobby store I've found and Mike is awesome (also call him Michael because he's someone you speak to, not something you speak into, it's a mic joke hehe like microphone, good ol' Mike.) I buy almost all my stuff from FLGS because supporting local business helps the economy by a LOT. Just, support the li'l guys you know.
With that pre-amble out of the way here comes my sales pitch and link.
Now, these models (from wargamesfactory) are cheap, they're very inexpensive. If you compare them to GW prices you'll have a hernia. During this sale they have 24 orcs for $10, amazing. HOWEVER!
You get what you pay for, these figures aren't as flawlessly assembled as GW figures, they don't have the same level of detail. This makes them harder to paint as the details aren't as crisp and exagerated as GW figures.
I do recommend these miniatures, they're a great way to get an army and get into historical wargaming. They're best used to supplement and mix with an existing force. Possibly the best line are the skeletons since kitbashing those with literally any other kinds of skeleton models is easy and in my opinion comes out great.
They do sell bases but I suggest you get your bases from Nexus, since having tables to play at is awesome. I recommend these as pieces to mix up with units to add some variety to your army, if you have an entire army of these guys, they'll look a little poor next to a full citadel army.
Also the orcs don't mix with orruks since, well, these orcs are very real world inspired haha.
War Games Factory
I just figured some of you guys would like to know about these, the skeletons especially make for nice terrain features, just busting up the kit and using the bones can add a lot to any army display boards you might make. Almost every race in warhammer loves skeletons I have an idea of a beastman stirring a pot of "not human stew" with a femur
