Orcs and Wizards

Well... ONE wizard...

I finally got around to finishing my first stand of Orc infantry for Hordes of the Things. It seemed like too much work to simply call this a “Horde”. They look too big and mean as well. I think I’ll class the Orcs as “Warband” and call the goblins “Hordes”…

Orc Warband! There’s some really old Citadel orcs on here – the standard and musician. The big guy, front and center is a D&D figure from WOTC (I think) and the rest are i-Kore Celtos figures


Same stand, another view. I had originally painted 8 to put on the stand, as it was I could only barely cram 7 on there.


Ditto


I got some GW Lords of the Rings stuff in trade recently (Thanks Bob!) – this is the first of a few that I will be mounting for HOTT. Actually I’ll be using MOST of them for HOTT, only a few of the characters- most of which I got two or three of(!?) – will I be mounting singly for skirmishy gaming.

Gandalf looks a little lonely on this big stand all by himself… I has thought of putting Merry and Pippin on it, but then decided I’d do all four hobbits on a stand and call them “sneakers”. Now I’m wondering again if maybe I should have just done Frodo and Sam on the sneaker stand and put Merry and Pippin with Gandalf here…? Ah well, I can always tear him off and make a new base with the hobbits for back-up…

I also have Strider, Legolas, and Gimli I’m going to put on a stand together and call them “heroes”.

I also have a Boromir… wasn’t sure where I should put him… on the hero stand with Strider, Legolas and Gimli…? Maybe just leave him out altogether…? Or maybe I could put HIM on the sneaker stand with Frodo and Sam!!?

I have time to think about it, I’m not going to be working on them for a bit…
