Another inspiring LOTR thread!

Really like the marching orcs and would certainly be interested in knowing how you made those if you're of course willing to share.

No real secret to these. There’s a whole mix of various kits. Most are Oathmark Goblin torsos, with some Fireforge, Gripping Beast, Frostgrave and Gw torsos. Heads are a mix of Oathmark, Warlord, Frostgrave, and some others I can’t remember, arms are Oathmark, Perry, Fireforge, with some Fireforge polearms added in. Lots of green stuff fur and hoods to cover up awkward joints and cut marks.

So I had a vision of what I wanted, I blu-tacked a few bits together until I liked what I saw and then got completely carried away making them. The variations are endless and it’s actually great fun.  I didn’t buy whole boxes of kits other than Oathmark, but lots of single sprues on eBay.

Thanks for the information managed to spot most manufacturers but had missed some. Think I need some European Mercenaries pikes for conversions  ;)
