Thanks everybody for the nice comments.

Regarding the regular basing, I have though about that too but decided to field them in even ranks for the moment

Might experiment with a more irregular basing, as I make the trays myself it shouldn't be too difficult to try.

That style would also be more useful for the masses of the army with maybe the more elite units being in regular ranks.

But for the time being, nice regular battalions as they look great when all on the table :)

Some more Orcs, block painted another 72 warriors but they will need some more work, then a wash and basing.

What a fantastic project and something that will look truly impressive once they are finished.

Love the Dark Alliance trolls and conversions. Lovely to see your horde growing.

That should be just about enough orcs to give Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Gimili a challenge!

Seriously though, that is quite the horde, Sauron will be proud!

Great work on those orcs. All the different manufacturers and conversions have made the force a very diverse one. The paint job is suitably muted as befits orcs. I have just completed 30 GW orcs and found that even with a basic paint job quite a chunk of time was taken to complete them. I can't imagine how long these have taken you. Keep it up though as it is very inspiring.

Would certainly keep them busy, more coming as more orcs have already been sourced.  ;D

Thanks, they take some time although the wash makes them quicker to finish. Also going for bulk so the paintjob may be a bit sloppy here and there. Think I have managed to paint around 24 of them per month so not too bad and already planning another 4 battalions. 1000 miniatures might be possible to achieve sometime.

Thanks, and more orcs already acquired but always looking for more cheap models, retail is too expensive for this project size  lol

Already planning the upcoming phase after the bulk orc battalions by acquiring more specialist units and creatures already have

- Games Workshop Plastic and Metal Mordor Trolls (think at least 10 for the moment)
- Games Workshop Metal Mordor Orc Catapults and Loader Trolls (3 acquired should suffice for a siege battery)
- Games Workshop Metal Siege Bows and Crews (for the moment 2 but looking for at least another one)
- Games Workshop Metal WitchKing and Nazgul on Fell Beasts

So plenty cool stuff already collected for further use and did I mention hundreds of Elves and Men for The Last Alliance ...

Re: LOTR - Legions of The Dark Tower Army Update 11/06 Orc Conversions!
« Reply #29 on: June 11, 2021, 07:21:44 AM »
Finished some conversions mostly using the official GW figures and some other parts. The heavily armoured miniatures are Uruk-Hai miniatures while the others are Mordor Orc miniatures. To blend the pieces and cover some gaps I have used greenstuff to represent cloth and fur.
