Orctober in Middle-Earth

[WitchQueenofAngmar]

Nice job on the recent additions! Great progress on them and I’m looking forward to seeing the group shot at the end of the month.

I've got some hills and flocked paper just need some backdrop to set it all up!

Happy to report that today's orc is on time!

This is very cool thread, enjoying the 'Orc a day' concept!  Thanks.

[WitchQueenofAngmar]

Thank you kindly! Having a goal really helps with getting one in the nood to hobby so it's been great for my craft.

Another little guy with a striped shield here. This might be the last spear wielder, I think I'm going to visit Bolg's bodyguard add in a few more to get to a unit of 15 (14 guards & Bolg).

That'll be 30 orcs, but I've got to do at least 32 total on account for the missed day so we'll see how it goes in the end!

Bolstering Bolg's bodyguard with an unusually garbled orc. This guy was made messing around with spare parts, and the shoulder cape is there to hide the joint.

That’s a cool combination of parts, it looks like there are at least 4 kits represented!

Thanks! 4 kits is right on the money.

Quick work today as I've got a busy evening, but here's another orc in liberated dwarven kit!

[Pattus Magnus]

I like that, those parts blend together well. Where are the legs from?

Thank you! For these last two they were chopped from unused Saxon Ceorls from an abandoned project.

That pose works really well.  Only a few days left now!

[Pattus Magnus]

Thanks for identifying the legs, now I can picture where they came from. There is a huge variety in the orcs you have kitbashed so far, it will be fun to see the whole tribe assembled at the end of the month!

[Belgian]

Quite a collection, love the kit bashing and paintjobs.

[WitchQueenofAngmar]

Thank you all!

I must admit I prefer kitbashing to painting, it's been easier for me to imagine how parts fit together than figuring out a color scheme.

Today it's a rough & ready bodyguard!

[Pattus Magnus]

That one turned out quite nicely. Is the body one of the Wargames Atlantic ones?

Good eye! It's one of the late Roman infantry. I've got one more left for Bolg's bodyguard, the rest of the box will be a future project of Mordor orcs.
