Nice work, I really like Balin's cloak but I think Bombur is my favourite.

Great displayability about the bases. Nice touch with the freehand coat, a lot of work in that that is not unnoticed.

Balin's coat if fantastic! That Orc is a great one too!

Bombour has got to be my favourite, love it. Really given me inspiration to my dwarves in the barrels better!

First orc = Hunter orc head, Hunter right fore arm, hunter shoulder pad. Morannon Orc left fore arm/shield, Mordor orc Bowman body, green stuff hair.

second Morannon Orc Bowman = Hunter Orc head, Tweaked Right arm, Orc Bowman Left arm, morannon orc helmet (face carved out), Green stuff hair.

third orc Drummer = Beast of Gorgoroth Orc, tweaked Arms, sculpted drum and stick.

Fourth Orc Taskmaster = Mordor orc warrior body, shaved off hair, Tweaked both arms and hands, Sculpted axe head from plasticard, Wire twisted and glued for whip.

love the skin colors on these models! Especially the blue one.
Great work!

Thanks, Orcs are one of the few races you can bend the rules a bit and make some cool skin tones now and then and cloth schemes too, chaos is freedom.

Pushed through Ori.

Cool looking orcs, orc archers are always welcome in my book!

Pretty clever idea with the Morannon Orc Bowman.

YOrcShire · **Posted:** Sat Feb 21, 2015 3:39 pm

Nice work again. I really like the Orcs, they suit your style very nicely.

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Sat Feb 21, 2015 3:45 pm

Ori looks great!

Your evil models are always incredible.

Lovely work on the little bloke, great freehand.

Converted another Bowman. I painted the teeth perfect on this model and go figure the arrow and string cover the face a bit too much, lol. no biggie. The conversion I think is pretty good.

Added this one. didn't want to bump the post (best to leave surprises for repeat viewers). But here is the orc archer that donated his bow to the morannon orc, put the morannons arms on this guy and made an axe head and sculpted a hood for him. Pretty easy. Also slapped blood on to see how it would look, meh.

Baardeend · **Posted:** Wed Feb 25, 2015 2:10 pm

Nice conversions! This gives me some great idea's what to do with the extra parts from the Hunter Orcs!

One thing I was wondering, how do you make the arrows and especially the feathers?

Sithious · **Posted:** Wed Feb 25, 2015 5:40 pm

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

For arrows there are a couple ways. The quiver is toothpick that I filed grooves into and applied feathers with greenstuff. I made a single arrow with wood also and green stuff but it is not ideal. For the arrow he is firing I used a length of paper clip with a small piece of paper glued to it. You can wrap the paper around so that the ends come out where you want them. After it is cured you can trim the paper down a bit. The glue will have absorbed into the paper making it like thin plastic. After that you paint it to suit.

Very nice conversion and paintjob.

That variant is highly convertible isn't it.
