FTO, C15 and C16 Orcs, I'll add the Fiend Factory FF24-29 (Red) Orcs at some point. I will also add a lot more Orcs, they come in hordes after all.
What colour is an Orc? Any colour he wants, green didn't come in until after this era.

The Orcs were split into 2 groups in the C coding scheme, initially C15 Orcs One and C16 Orcs Two based on the FTO codes They then became C15 Armoured Orcs and C16 Orcs. The difference could be very slight, many of them were just FTO retreads, but C15 did include 19 new sculpts, shown on the August 1983 flyer. I have included them here if they precisely match the illustrations, and left them in the FTO range if not.
