The time of the orc has come

I've painted sixty orcs. These are a bit better equipped than your usual rabble, but still aren't elite troops.




I have also painted their leader, Gothmog. Tolkien never described Gothmog as orc, man or wraith, but Peter Jackson portrayed him as a memorable and charismatic orc. There is an engaging rumour that the prosthetics were based on Harvey Weinstein.

    1. Right? What an absolutely ridiculous number of figures, and even if orcs are a little bit easier to paint as a big batch, still. Wow. And they look fantastic too. Nice and grotty.
