Hey all. I have the box of 24 Morannon Orcs, and have nearly painted one sprue of 12, but I want to convert all the other 12 to make them all individual. I have converted 3 so far, and here they are: My favourite is the archer, looking like hes just take an arrow to put to his string. He was made by clipping away his sword, and drilling a hole through his right hand. I had this plastic arrow from a Warhammer model I think, that I got off a friend a few years back. The arrow that is, as a spare bit for conversions. I cut the point off a pin for the arrowhead. And the Orc's left forearm was cut off a RotK plastic Orc. So...Im just wondering, can anyone else give me any ideas on how I can convert the other 9 Morannon Orcs? Cheers, Cc.

wow they are quite cool. I agree the archer is the coolest as i think it looke a bit 'gay' before IMO but you have changed it to be much better.
As for the next 21 Morranon orcs, simple weapon swaps is usually best. But im sure others wil have many other ideas you could use

I agree. It looks how you said it looks. I don't actually have them so I don't know how you could convert them.

As I believe I said over on TLA, your conversions are really good A Luna, and there are 2 or so that I really really like. Nice work. RC, I haven't done any more conversions yet, but I will probably knuckle down on doing some in the next 2 days or so. I will probably post pictures too. Oh and I might have to *use* a few of A L's ideas...

LOL A Luna. Anyway, sorry its not really an update, but I've undercoated my first 3 of 12-to-be converted Morannon Orcs. Oh and as you can see I green-stuffed an Eye of Sauron on one of their's shields. Pictures in the Weapons and Warfare book are a good resource for things like that. I'll try and paint these at the weekend. I'll then put up a Feedback thread. Cc.
