Middle Earth SBG (Mordor Orcs - part 2)

You can never have too many Orcs, am I right? 

So, here are another batch to add to the Middle Earth baddies I'm working up. 

I'm nearer the end than the beginning on the rank and file now. I'm starting to get itchy to start other projects and it's taking some considerable self-control not to say "I'll come back to these in a while" and wander off.

Middle Earth SBG (Mordor Orcs - part 1)

And the bad guys just keep on coming!

This time, a unit of Mordor Orcs joins the growing throng of Middle Earth evildoers.

Loads done, loads more still to do. Trying to stay focussed, even though I have a shiny new Necromunda box beckoning to me...

Middle Earth SBG (Morannon Orcs - part 1)

My plan is to heavily reinforce the forces of darkness in Middle Earth. Sauron and Saruman did a well-poxy job of trying to conquer it so I'm going to have a go.

I've always fancied being a dark lord.

Anyway, as well as collecting goblins for Moria, I'm also going to generally collect bad-guys so that I can field forces for Isengard, Mordor or (if the whim takes me) Angmar. Since most of these are based on Orcs I can collect a large Orcish core and basically use the same models with different heroes and a few fluff-models to represent any of them.

So, here is my first batch of Orcs (from the Pelennor fields set):

Middle Earth SBG (Isengard Uruk-Hai - part 2)

Lurtz - for me one of the most iconic characters from the Peter Jackson movies. Shown here leading a rabid band or Uruk-Hai.

Time to put some troops into Isengard. Saruman can't conquer Middle Earth on his own.

He's been busily toiling in the pits, magically splicing genes with the corrupted remains of elves in order to produce his army of Super-Orcs!

The gates are opening. They emerge!

Middle Earth SBG (Troll)

I'm loving Middle Earth at the moment so I'm pretty much universally working on ME models at the moment. I've sort of immersed myself in the setting and am re-reading LoTR and a couple of other bits that I've not read before too.

All of which has stoked my enthusiasm for creating armies of baddies with which to finally conquer the place once-and-for all for the powers of darkness. Morgoth, and Sauron clearly weren't up to the job so I figured I'd give it a bash.

So here is the latest model to join the throng of evildoers I'm building:

Middle Earth SBG (Saruman)

Argh! I've done it again! Why do I keep doing this to myself? I've started collecting models for another game!

A chance conversation with a mate, followed by an accidental watching of half of one of "The Hobbit" movies ended up with us deciding to have a go at the Middle Earth setting.

Then, as usual, I stumbled across a bargain on eBay and now I'm building models for bad-guy Middle Earth.

I'm probably going to aim for Moria and Isengard, but along the way I'll doubtless pick up a few models I can use to flesh out a Mordor force too.

Anyway - here's my first offering: Saruman with Palantir:
