Exetrius Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 @LEGO_Knight12 Hands down the most impressive orc army display I've ever seen! Not just a great and diverse army, but the irregular positioning of the ships makes for a very dynamic scene. Love it! Quote
Aine Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 This orc army is boringly... BRILLIANT! I really like it, it's wonderful how you accmplished the ragged army look, and the small boats are nice touch. That's one heck of a gold sunk in these ships, I guess. Have you thought a bout a sea? Maybe just blue slopes and some white for waves could fit? Quote

Aine Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 It'll be nice, and it wouldn't cost a fortune, neither lots of time. Do you have any enemy navy, so that the orcs have someone to fight? Quote

Aine Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Ok, so I finally got myself to choosing and uploading the photos of my army. Honestly, I'm not happy about the result, and I hesitated for months before sharing the stuff. Small remark: what you'll see is inspired by a famous and lovely The Northern Horde, a barbarian cavalry force that you may see here and here. To have an overal idea what kind of effect I was trying to achieve, look no further than this: My idea was to create a counterforce, the polar opposite of The Northern Horde, an Imperial Cavalry. I tried, but well... uhm, well, I think I failed. My cataphracts have all the shortcomings of the usual clone armies, while having very little of their spell. Idk, maybe the photos just suck, I wished for something different, but whatever; this is the result. And Lo, When the Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth, Then Dark Sorceries Shall Enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown Edited May 9, 2019 by Aine Quote
zoth33 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 That is quite impressive Aine. That is alot of horses. Really nice looking army, love all the old school dragon knight shields. Quote
richchie Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 my gondor and leves army, which I plann to add to my diorama siege of tharbad many thanks to Friendbricks shop on BL for those custom gondorian staff :-) gondor and elves army by richchie, on Flickr Quote
Aine Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 @zoth33 Thanks for your support! I am not totally happy with the photos, they really didn't capture the atmosphere I wanted to achieve, but speaking of the numbers... yeah, I got them! I'll try to make a bit more detailed photos on Sat/Sun of the particular dudes, and I'll give some bit more ideas about the Imperial Cavalry.@richchie Those are lovely soldiers! My favourite part is the merry-go-round horse. I wanted to use one for a princess - oh, that shiny bridle -, but it definitely works amazingly well as a commander's horse! Where are those pikes from?

Yeah, it was such a pain! :-D Here's the one last look at The Empyrial Cavalry: Centre: 49 Heavy Cavalrymen + 1 General Wings: 2x 25 Medium Cavalrymen Scouts: 50 Light Cavalrymen in four troops Archers: 2x 25 Mounted Bowmen In all: 200 horsemen. Also, I heard about a horrible deed of necromancy being commited in the North! Edited May 11, 2019 by Aine Quote

Aine Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the info! I'm searching for some nice javelins, spears and halberds, as I don't really like the classic lego stuff, and these look very nice! edit: Wow, that's amazing shop! I remeber seeing it a year or so ago, and I drooled over some of the stuff. Fortunately I was able to overcome the urge to spend all my money oh their products! Edited May 13, 2019 by Aine Quote
Niku Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Impresssive cavalry force they are a formidable force i also love the Gondor troops, thanks for sharing ? Quote
richchie Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) After few years of collecting and some changes in layout, let me introduce final layout of my orcs army (245 minifigs + 2 cave trolls) Army consists of 200 infantry, 20 bowman an 22 support units (4 of them are scouts on wargs, 8 are siege crew for catapults and balistas) and 3 commanders this layout can be add to my largest MOC - siege of tharbad as a siege army. I try to make orcs infantry not such a clone army, but probably on this picture you can not see that most of the orcs are made by combination of existing LEGO LOTR an hobbit orcs staff. I also add some custom heads and shields Many thanks to my friend, who help me with building such a great army : https://store.bricklink.com/Friend.bricks?p=Friend.bricks#/splash Orcs army (flickr) by richchie, on Flickr Edited May 24, 2019 by richchie Quote
