T-Minas Morgul 5 days and counting

 First Horde of Orcs and Uruks completed and ready to fight

 Second horde of Orcs painted. All that's needed here is to finish basing. It took me a day and a couple of afternoons to paint this batch.

Nazgul are done but for painting bases.

I have one more batch of Uruks and trolls to try and paint before the big day. With a little luck I should be able to get it all done and still have time for a few surprises.

T-Minus Morgul 21 days and counting

As part of some friends' birthday celebrations I'll be taking part in what should be a massive Warmaster game. I don't have a Warmaster force of any kind but I've always wanted to do an Orc army based on the army of the Witch King of Angmar from The Lord of the Rings.

I had some 10mm Copplestone orcs lying about and I ordered more to balance out a large force. My goal is a 2000 point force with a little extra for variety. The folks at North Star Military Figures were exceptionally speedy in getting my order to me. They are great folks there. I've never had anything but the best service from them.

Over the long holiday weekend I got cracking:

This is the majority of the Orc foot and mounted forces as well as a single unit of trolls primed.

Orc Archers and Warg Riders were the first to get painted. Once they were done I glued half of the remaining foot figures to painting sticks.

While waiting for the glue to dry I started work on my Witch King. The Fell Beast is a Reaper Miniatures Dragonette. Perfect for this scale.
