My Middle Earth Orcs - updated 17/02/19

There are my first Middle Earth Orcs - intended to be from Angmar at the time of the Witch King's Realm. I like the look of marching figures, but nobody does them the way I wanted, so I bashed some of my own.
They are mostly based on Oathmark torsos, with a couple of Fireforge and GW torsos in the mix. Heads are mostly Oathmark, with some WF and GW and Perry. Arms are mostly from the Perry Mercenaries set, pike arms, with the pike heads trimmed and heads added from Fireforge halberds and polearms. Any unsightly gaps are covered up with Greenstuff fur.
I have another similar unit in progress, with a couple of command bases too and a command base with the Witch King himself.
Hope you like em.

Echoing the two earlier commentators, they look perfect! Like straight out of John Howe's paintings

and
In Mordor

I agree they look awful - just as Orcs should! Splendid work!

You sir, are a legend...
This is exactly the way I'm planning to do up my own ME orks, with the addition of Wargames Factory ork parts.
I'm happy to see the kitbashing approach is viable; this gives me confidence for the time when I finally get to start my own project.
Please keep it up because they look amazing!

They work a treat. Great kitbashing and the painting scheme is perfect for their character.
