Thanks guys. I have also just received a box of Hunter Orcs on foot. Things are getting good.

Hmmmmm, your pseudonym is thomas backwards, I do that sometimes, as my surname is thomas...
anyway ive looked through this thread of yours, and I must say I am VERY impressed with both your level of painting and sculpting and the originality of it all.
Keep up the good work it's inspiring

My first name is Thomas.
And thankyou! You speak very kindly about my work.

@ Sticky Fingersss, those orcs will be painted up soon hopefully, but not quite yet. I still have a stack of models to get through.

Sorry guys but no new photo's yet. I have since done more to the Mahuds skin, making it look waaay better. I have also painted other parts of them. Hopefully they will all be finished soon.

The mahuds are done but no pictures unfortunately. They are all packed away.

I do have pictures of the Mordor uruk hai I have been working on though.

I have used the Wargames Factory orcs. They are absultley brilliant models and I thought they would be perfect for Mordor Uruk-Hai. They are a great deal larger than normal orcs so it suits them to be of the superior breed.

Now shagrat has thirty soldiers to lead, not just the six.

I have added my own personal details to them as well.

They are now undercoated. You will notice that the ones on the photo have had cloaks sculpted onto them. I did this to make them fit in with the metal mordor uruk hai more and also to make them more dynamic and have more movement. Also for extra diversity.

curious to c them painted up!:)

Nice idea, they look good except for the silly hats.

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2013 2:44 pm

Heh I have four of these in my box with the red eye uruks because I had the exact same thought. I'll convert mine a little though so they fit better with my existing ones

Also, by the way, I think it is a bad idea giving your mtd hunter orc 2 swords, as the while reason why they lose their attack whilst mounted is based on the premise that they cannot hold 2 swords whilst mounted.

Thanks guys.

Yeah I know. But it looks cool which is more important.

The Mordor Uruk Hai are nearly all done. I just need to paint a few details and add stuff to the bases.

Here's a picture just to give you a rough idea of what they look like

I am also sculpting Murin for the sculpting contest.

Rognarr · **Posted:** Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:20 am

Wow, they look fantastic! They suit the regular Mordor uruks quite well and also really add some needed variety! Painted they look a lot better too and I think you did a great job on that. Also like your freehands!

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:45 am

Aye they are looking great, wasn't too sure of them when they were unpainted but now they look spot on.

John Wayne · **Posted:** Wed Feb 13, 2013 12:53 pm

They look awesome painted and very orcish too. :yay:

samoht · **Posted:** Thu Feb 14, 2013 1:24 am

Thanks guys. More detailed pics coming soon!

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Feb 14, 2013 2:05 am

When painted, they look much better, you can hardly tell they wear silly hats :yay:

like those mordor uruks alot - the paint scheme is great and the shield details really help them seem like actual troops of mordor. nice work.

Really outstanding mordor orc stand ins. The painting elevates their brilliance even more
