Some sci-fi Uruk-hai

[OldBen1]

Thinking about Orcs in space.  I don’t really like the green Ork boy style.  I spied some minis at Alternative Armies and I thought they might look the part.  I really like the black body and white face of Saruman’s orcs from the LOTR movies.

 

Here they are defending their towers:

Give me a while to come to terms with Orks dat iz not green.
The base is suitably orkish though.

I think I could get used to them not being green, it seems to open up possibilities

I really like them.  You could add some of the tribesmen from Crom’s Anvil with some weapon swaps and and maybe some greenstuffed armor.

Its the face paint that makes them look so good.
Are these 15mm?

[OldBen1]

15mm yes!

Orcs are “swarthy.” Never like green orcs. Those are really good, very orky!

There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

I think the cartoony green is the reason I never bought Orcs.  So I really like the change!

Uruk Hai in space make so much more sense than green bodybuilding mushrooms.

I think they are amazing. The white skull on their helmets gives them such a great brutal, tribal look, without any need to start converting.

Bit surprised you made your base look regular 40k Orky though.

Just showed this to a friend who is a figure painter but not gamer. His reaction was:

“Nice fusion! We are the fighting Uruk-hai! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!” 🙂

I can already imagine … Tolkien in space!

Minas Tirith as a huge space station.  The Black Gate as a dense defensive section of an asteroid belt.  Osgiliath as a city guarding a large open passage of space.  Fanghorn could be a nebulous area where some ships tend to disappear.  The Shire could be a moon.  The possibilities seem endless!  Lol
