Orthanc Orcs

No, I've not been doing nothing for the past three weeks. I've completed a box of 12 Orcs which I've painted to be part of Sauman's force. A bad representation of a hand is supposed to show this (Orcs are bad painters but not that bad!) The photos are particularly bad because the weather is so gloomy and because I can't get to my normal photo spot while the kitchen is being renewed. I'll redo them later.

I've also done another batch of Uruk Hai which I'll put here when the sun comes out.

Galadrhim Knights 5

Despite the quality being under par, these fellows will have to take to the field as they are.

The gold should have been washed and dry brushed (to be properly tried next time though I did experiment). The faces are down to my usual standard. The silver detail on saddle cloth and flag are poor. The horses, likewise. Gold could do with a polish. There's plenty more.

The drifting leaves from 'The Golden Wood' are in Balor Brown and Yriel Yellow or mixed with a few Shining gold thrown in.

Again, I must comment what excellent models these are but need a better man than I to do them justice.
