It's a shame they don't do goblins, skeletons and basic marauder-type dudes to use in your dungeon games/battles as well though.  Maybe if enough of us start buying their stuff they will expand? :)
EM4 do make a range of Goblins, Undead and Barbarians however they are in Metal rather than Plastic. (links are to Forlorn Hope's website which carries a larger range of EM4's miniatures than their main site)

If you're looking for a wider range plastic models I recommend checking out Mantic and Reaper's stunning new Bones range

I've been in contact with Doug at EM4 since posting this review and he informs me they unlikely to be making any brand-new model for their Fantasy Plastics range. As Lurkio mentioned the plastic miniatures originally belonged to Grenadier (as did most of their metal figures) EM4 make them because one of their associated companies made them for Grenadier 'back in the day' and owned the tools. In fact the plastic Orcs and Dwarfs where part of the Fantasy Warriors boxed fantasy wargame Grenadier published way back in 1990 (2 years before the first boxed Warhammer -4th edition- in 1992) - when  Grenadier went under, EM4 just kept making them and there has always been a steady demand for them from hobbyists who want as many miniatures as possible for their money.
