The Parade.Īs of typing I have created 25 unique Orcs for this force, giving me a few reinforcements to add later or just to nit pick at what weapons I want. ~ Some additional Aos parts, mainly from beast men, and goblins. ~ Spare parts and tools- general things found around including easterlings, greenstuff and paper clips. ~Age of sigmar/fantasy undead – A range of parts from the skeleton,black guard, and mainly hex wraith sprues ~ Gundabad Orc upgrade kit from Forgeworld ~ Hunter Orc Riders – generous in spare heads and parts These models were a mixture of broken, poorly painted and dating back to the original release sets. ~ A mixture of warriors of Middle earth – for this project I have used Hardrim, Gondor and Mordor Orcs. However as AoS or 40k tend to be a little big for middle earth, I did manage to find a few bits and bobs. So to begin I gathered up a heap of parts and bits from my bits box (well places) of games workshop models. Instead It has motivated me in creating, reimaginating, and finishing this army…. When I first started this project I had expected to grow tiresome and frustrated in converting up unique Orcs after the first few. It’s been quite a busy couple of weeks with real life, painting and my new toys (may have got involved with A Song of Ice and Fire tabletop game and some 3d printing.) but I have made some progress on the Middle Earth front. So I’ll have to look at another 300 points down the track. Since my last post, I’ve been roped in to playing two days…. For those unaware, HobbitCon is one of the two day events that works on an escalation system, bringing 400 points and then an addition 300 (700 total). Welcome back to part two of my Shadow of Mordor posts in preparation of HobbitCon. Who else has gone so far with so little?”
