The figure used for this unit is from Reaper's Legendary Encounters. The name of the figure used is Good Human Warrior.

Character Bio: Though not as sturdy as his fellow champions, Sir Orrick diversifies the knights' repertoire in an another way: by contributing the speed of a devoted warrior. When an ally calls out for help, Sir Orrick is quick to answer. With near inhuman speed, Sir Orrick arrives at his comrade’s side, ready to smite the enemy.

Don't forget Capt. Varan!

[Arch-vile]

Looks like I ninja-updated you, IshMEL.

I think he is under-priced...just thinking out loud.

[Heroscaper Guy]

I playtested him with the Mcdirks, since they were slightly faster than the knights. He's not a game-changer much like Otanashi, good for a surprise slingshot, but after that his value drops.

At first I'd agree, but a single attack 3 attack 50 point hero(even with bonding)? He can't be TOO underpriced, even with a situational 7 move.

Really? If anything, I'd say he is overpriced. Personally, I don't think I'd draft him that often, even if I had the 50 points to spare in a Knight build. I'd rather get Me-Burq-Sa or something. Me-Burq lacks bonding with the Knights, but he at least gives me some options that the Knights don't already have. Orrick is just a tougher Knight that is sometimes fast.

[ollie]

Not sure exactly where he falls in power, but he's gone straight in as a strong option in my favourite Knights builds. Core:

Knights x3: 210
Finn/Thorgrim: 80
Orrick: 50
Marro Warriors/KMA: 50/100
Total: 390/440pts, 18/17 hexes.

Add another squad of Knights as the first choice addition, followed by Eldgrim, and/or vary the clean-up unit (as long as it benefits from whatever spirit(s) is/are around).

Edit. I forgot to add the reason: the Vikings are great on the frontline from the start, and Orrick is perfect as a second wave bonding option.

Thanks JaB. The OP has been updated.

I'd like to just let everyone know that the "Male Human Warrior - Dark Heaven Bones" or "Garrick the Bold" Unpainted Reaper figure is the exact same sculpt as "Good Human Warrior" so if you're looking for this figure, and can't find it (because it's nearly impossible to find now) You can still get an unpainted one for around $5, or $1.99 at:
