Middle Earth Battle Companies. (Orc nr 4 03/06/2023)

[Tonhel]

Hello,

Recently I got interested in GW Lord of the Rings Middle Earth Battle companies ruleset.

Here are the 3 first Mordor Orcs, they will be part of my Minas Morgul battle company. I am also painting a fiefdom battle company.

The mini's are from Reconquer Designs, who mainly sculpts 10-14th century Spanish mini's, but he is also a big LotR fan.

Sorry, photos not showing for me

Which is a shame as these sound interesting





Thought it might be the ?dl=1 On the end of the urls. But not, so may be permissions on Dropbox?

[Robosmith]

These look great. How did you do the central shield?

[jambo1]

Lovely work on some great looking figures, will be interested in seeing more.

[FramFramson]

Great sculpts. The mail in particular is very well done!

[LouieN]

Wonderful work.  The shields I think are excellent. 

[Tonhel]

Thank you for the kind words!

Yeah, I noticed before that not everybody could see the pics when shared with Dropbox.
Here are two pictures as attachments. :-)

I did paint that one mid april, the other sword / shield orc I painted last week, as you see the wood colour of the shield is not the same. I forgot which colours I used . When I paint the next shield orc, I will try to replicate the first shield and share the colours.

Oh these are lovely! The minis are much closer to what I imagined from the books.

Btw your earlier pics are showing when I check in from the pc but not when I’m using my iPad

[Tonhel]

Thank you!

Yeah, that is his plan. So no plate armour as in the movies.

Those are excellent orcs - very nicely painted!

[armchairgeneral]

Excellent painting though not sure about the green skin. Tolkien's orcs varied from black skinned to dark brown or sallow.

I agree- very impressive.

[Tonhel]

Thank you all!

I started working on orc 4, again a sword armed orc with shield, but he also can be armed with a spear instead of a sword. After that it's two orc archers and a black Numenorean.

Yeah, maybe I should alter the skintone to a more dark / brownish colour. I now used for the skintone the AoS Kruelboy tutorial from Warhammer+.

Small update:

For the fiefdom battle company I added Alrin, a knight of Dol Amroth.

It's not really clear in the picture, but he has a mail cap, so his mouth is covered with mail.
