Lord of the Rings Orcs

The Hammerhead game also got me focused on painting some more Orcs.
They'll also prove handy for games with James' own rules - a Middle earth orc will work for First Age games as well as Third Age.

First up some archers. There are only two poses on the GW sprue (well actually it's just one pose with different headgear and armour) so I varied the colours in a limited palette to try and get some variation.

Then an assortment of foot troops - again limited palette

Finally, just cos I'm sharing here's some of the original GW metal Orcs I painted back when the first movie hit the screens.
