I just watched The Two Towers the day before yesterday and I just love the Beserkers. One day when I have a lot of cash to spare I'll start a LotR project with Rohirrim vs. Uruk-Hai =)

Great job on the figures and statue!

I think the Uruk Hai and the Isengard forces are among the most brilliant of the GW LOTR line. Simply put. They have a quality which I find is unmatched in their other product.

You did a fine job of this. I think the sculpt you have used of Saruman is the better one considering the options.

 I dislike the duelling wizard sculpt as I find that a contest between Saruman and Gandalf would not be a challenge based upon strength but on wit and the adaptation in the film of this particular conflict is very badly made I think.

Nice miniatures. I agree with the Viking that this is the better Saruman model. He should be the one in control behind the lines not battling it out with the Rohirric peasants.  ;)

And I also agree with Janner: I like the basing of your models. Nice job.

Lovely stuff. I am finding myself drawn to the LOTR stuff at present, it must be all the eye candy here :)

Those look fantastic. Are those Uruk Hai plastic or metal?
