Midgard : LotR (Orcs with Polearms 1)

And finally, here are the last five of the initial band of fourteen out-of-the-box constructed orcs. I am happy with how they have all turned out and that they have a kind of unit coherence through the blue cloth. As mentioned previously, I will just lump all orcs, no matter what they are wielding (except for missile weapons), in together to give them a less organised and more rag-tag look but with some industrialised tropes like the mass-produced clothing.

Orcs with polearms

Now that the first batch has been completed, I am hoping that if bad light does not stop play I can get that second batch of fourteen converted Games Workshop orcs painted over the next few weeks.

Also, as promised, here are a couple of pictures of the first batch of orc warriors.

Archers, 2 handed weapons, hand weapons and shields, and polearms - in the order they were painted...

The finished orc warband

And here they are in a less regular warband formation...

Fourteen orcs going to war

Next up will hopefully be some modelling related stuff - the Warlord Games' orcs and some movement trays from Warbases. I may also begin a painting list like I did with the Britons earlier this year to keep a tally on what I have completed and what needs painting for my orc army.
