Wahou, this is just fantastic conversions colors, painting on shields. I also think background for pictures highlights in a better way your work.
Great, really great:cool:

Very nice models and conversions, I like them!
What colors did you use for the grey-blue skin ? I tried a few times to get that color, but never reached the result I wanted.
And what figure did you use for the figure in front, with sword and shield ?

Nice read your comments, always are wellcome!!

Barliman: I get the idea from internet, here some designs!

Milo: Thanks for your kind words! Master Theobald was right...."these magic trees always has reason" and the quality of my photos don't was good...I think now are better !
Shadyt: Very happy to read you !!!! Thanks...and I want to told you the Troll conversion idea is from you!!!!
Gerold: I'm using Vallejo paints, here the information by your reference
1) I paint in black all my orcs first
2)German Grey (70995) Base color
3) German Grey and  Intermediate Blue (71113) 50%-50%
4) Wash with Black (80% water)
5) Intermediate Blue
6) Intermediate Blue and White 80%-20% for details

The figure in the front is M150 (Mordor Uruk) conversion with MC129 Head and I modify his left arm position! I hope this help you ...and looking to see your minis soon!!!

I really like all your evil forces... how many orcs you have... !?!? Please try to make some photos from different angle so we can clearly see the details of your great painted figures.... perhaps from profile perspective, not bird's eye view.....

My Pleasure Ian! I like to use in my army different emblems and banners too....like this image (I love the feel of these picture:D):




Thingol: I will try to take better photos this weekend and like Arthadan say..."a family picture too" !!

Talking about the Orcs:I have now in progress (I hope I can finish to paint the all before the end of February)
10 Snagas
4 Uruk Imps
30 Orcs
7 warg riders
3 wargs

By other side I have in "construction" (doing conversions)about 20 orcs more!!!o


To fight against my orcs I'm going to use "The Forest People" (New Project 2016)

Miniatures to use:

8 Beornings (Including Beorn)
16 woodman people (including Radagast)
16 mirkwood elves with armour (my idea is use  MM407,MM406 & MM398)
16 Wood elves "hunters" (most of them silvan elves miniatures)
8 Thranduil and his royal guard (

Scenery:

I have in mind, do a small woodman village including some villagers, probably Radagast house too, so the idea is play some scenarios between my two forces.

This is a huge project. I have started a beornr's house project last year( or before?) which maybe should be revived so that we can share techniques and ideas.

Master Milo: I want to know more about your beorn house... last year I expend a lot of time making scenery ....not sure this year, I prefer buy some Resin constructions and invet my time painting miniatures! but in any case...I want to see Beorn House!
Thanks Master Barliman!Great recommendations both of them! I will go with scibor to my elves! for the second link I will buy some shields to my orcs too!!!

I Have some pending questions:

Can I mixt together Lorien and Mirkwood elves? I see they cloths are differents but not sure about the reason? By other side....any idea about what buldings/cabins to use with my woodman people and radagast?

I thought you might be tempted to buy yourself some of the Orc shields! The larger of them is superb - it's a very impressive size indeed.

Personally I use my Elves for both Lorien and Greenwood the Great ("Mirkwood"). Having two separate armies would simply cost too much. I know that technically they should have different hair colours and to some extent clothing colours, but since most people think all Elves were blonde and wore green and/or grey I haven't let that worry me too much!

It's occurred to me rather late that I should say a word of warning about the old Harlequin /Black Tree Orc shields, which is that the castings are disproportionately thick - about a couple of mm. I've become used to seeing them, and they work well enough with the company's own brutish Orc figures, but they're less well suited to Mithril's finer castings. Pretty much all the other shields in the range are generally on a par with those of other manufacturers - Gripping Beast, for instance. The Elf shield is the finest of them, which is why I had no worries about recommending it. Oddly, the biggest Orc shield in the range isn't quite as disproportionately thick as the smaller ones.

Master Barliman: Thanks for your recommendations!

I want to show you some other posible shields I was find in internet to use with orcish forces too.

The reinforced wood shield is perfect to use with "red eye" troops and also you have some..."whith hand" very funy!

Master Milo: Thanks again for your comments! probably little boring see always orcs! but I hope I can show you next year different races!!

I don't forgot I have pending to take some "family  photos" like Master Arthadan say, but I want to complete some proper scenery to use witht them too !! So this will be take me little bit more time!
