A couple of W.i.P. Mordor orc captains. I couldn't resist getting them, given how awesome the models look and that I had plenty of money-back on my Maelstrom Games account. I've continued to paint just über-basic highlights, followed by the beautifully contradictory "brush-on-dipping". The aim is really to get a quick Mordor force up and running (preferably in the direction of the enemy) at battletop standard. Mordor is ideal for this as orcs look filthy and are essentially brown, with various items of brown clothing, with dirty armour. These guys just need a coat of matt varnish and the odd detail here and there, namely on the shields.
Of course, I've gone for Cirith Ungol, but these chaps had the Eye of Sauron on their shields. Out came the industrial scale round file, followed by a spot of Green Stuff and that was that poblem sorted. 've decided to go with a blue colour scheme, which is somewhat unorthodox for evil forces in the L.o.t.R. game, but I felt like a change. After all, the films used a great deal of blue and green lighting to portray Mordor as a cold, dead place.
The force as it currently stands. 
5 more spears on their way
So that's 186 points almost done... just 314 to go.Joe the Barbarian, eager to bring night onto the world of men.
