Axe Wielding Man-Orcs
« on: September 08, 2023, 07:57:37 PM »
Painted up this unit of axe wielding man-orcs based on the unit despatched to attack Theodred at the battle of the Fords of Isen.

Those look excellent! The Copplestone half-orcs are some of my favorites and the axes work well kitbashed with them. It alway cool to see units based on passages in the stories.

I agree with all of this. Great figures, and I like the way you captured the scene with your painting and kit-bashing!

These are great! Perfect use of the Copplestone half-orcs, seamless conversions and a great evocation of the Battle of the Fords of the Isen!

As others have said, it's great to see conversions that match miniatures to Tolkien's text.
