Mordor Orc conversions

Here they are, rescued from imploding websites and then finally an age old cache... someone did these Orc Warrior conversions and I thought they should be shared with other Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game fans and Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring fans. That's long for LotR SBG and LotR: WotR, respectively.

Not done by me. Use these as inspiration. Was never able to rescue the pictures of the finished, painted Orcs.



The following simple conversions were done by mr Llama (that's me writing) about two years ago. Hastily done, like all rank-and-file troopers I do. These are not included because I think they're awesome (I don't think that), but simply as inspiration. Mordor Orcs tend to be used en masse and conversions are good to not see the exact same miniature nine times in an Orc horde. Again, just slice and dice, add some green stuff and voila! Orc à la Llama!




And mr Dram Katastases, still not able to comment. What you've done as fillers is exactly what I forgot to put in my little article - I've got TONNES of similar one-base-fillers, thank you for adding that.

And to other readers: Proof reading will be done in the next litte mini-article.

  1. Hi mate, I came across your blog by chance while browsing images related to Mordor. Surprising as it may be, I am the author of those orc conversions. Feels nice to see them after so many years. I did them a couple of years ago for an article that was published on a Polish website. I'm still painting and you can check out my works at http://independent-painters.blogspot.com/
    Cheers and keep up the great work on your blog!

  2. No way?! You don't happen to have the pictures of them painted still somewhere on the net?

    Anyways, sorry for the slow response. I really liked your conversions, they showed what can be actually done with the simple (but beautiful) models for LotR with a little patience and a sharp knife. I will add you to my very exclusive bloglist :)

    Cheers, mate!

    PS) Do you happen to post at heroescommunity?

  3. Unfortunately, I don't have these pictures, it was a while ago and I must have deleted them at some time...

    heroescommunity - never heard of this website before

    Cheers!
