Mr. Cube

Great thread, but the cyclops should be brick-builded (or molded) giant, not a a small minifigure, imo.

That orange color may be caused just by the camera color settings, the light and/or editing the photo in computer. I like the design of new Gundabad orcs and I´m looking forward to the new Hobbit sets. What I don´t like about the LOTR waves is that they used Uruk-hai shields for Moria orcs and Uruk-hai helmets for Mordor orcs. My dream is to have Moria orcs with helmets and armor from videogame , Mordor/Morannon orcs with their own helmets and shields and Isengard Uruk-hai with more types of helmets for sappers, general, berserkers (not just printed helmet on the head). But...it´s just a dream.

Do you remember these preliminary and preview pictures? It would be great to get another Mordor Orc torso and different Uruk-Hai helmet, but I think that TLG will never make that. What do you think?

I don´t get what´s wrong with the elvish armor. Printed torsos work well to me, because elf minifigures wearing "uruk-hai" armor would look a bit weird. Elvish armor is not too heavy, but it´s strong and elegant.

Great idea and concept! I like it!

Thanks guys. I'm glad that you like it.

Hi! I would like to show you my new MOC - Uruk-Hai Training.

These swordsmen look same as you get them from the official sets because I think they are good like that. I don´t see what I could improve on them (exept the arms, maybe, because they are not armored - so maybe I´ll replace them with the grey ones). For the other uruk types, I will be swapping original LEGO weapons, heads and I plan some custom helmets, becouse in official sets there is only one uruk-hai helmet type (and for the berserker they just only printed the helmet on a head! ).

Well...it´s the same thing as the Izmael10´s project with his Gondorian army. Me, Izmael10 and other guy (who is building the army of Rohan) know each other from the Czech forum www.kostky.org. The concept is to build an army of different units as they appeared in the movies (for Uruk-hai - the scouts, pikemen, swordsmen, sappers etc.). As I wrote before, I´m now waiting for some pieces to complete the other units, so I posted just the first - the swordsmen. And I would like to have all the units in my thread (ease to display - easy to find), I think that moving the pictures to the army thread (did you mean this one - "Show your LOTR pictures and armies"?) is not good idea, because in next weeks I´ll post other units and the concept could be too fragmented. But when the army will be finished, I could post the photo of the whole army to that thread. I hope you will understand my English and my opinions. :)

Excellent!

Hello! I would like to present you my uruk-hai army. I plan to build an army of 100 uruk-hai, divided into different units like swordsmen, pikemen, crossbow-men, sappers, berserkers, captains, standard-bearers and general. First unit is "Uruk-hai Swordsmen". I have 10 figs now, the planned number of swordsmen is 25. I´m still waiting for the pieces from one BL store, so please, be patient, until I´ll show you the next unit (or should I use the "troop"? :)).

Thx for all replies! Missing Brick: I don´t have photo like that yet, but when the army will be growing, I´ll take some photos ;) Hrw-Amen: I got only these six orcs of Mordor, my Isengard army is slightly bigger (18 uruks). Now I´m focused on building my uruk-hai army (but I´ll post some photos later, when I´ll finish the designing of all units - scouts, pikemen, swordsmen, sappers, crossbow-men and others). I hope the TLC will release that UCS(?) Orthank set. :)

I don´t get why TLC used Isengard´s Uruk-hai shields in Mines of Moria set and Isengard´s Uruk-hai helmet in Battle at the Black Gate. Was this in movies? No.

The modified part is Even Piell´s head (SW). The head part is unknown to me, but I think it is from Star Wars too. I bought both parts there: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Matoso

Hello! I would like to show you some pictures of my Mordor orcs army. I want to build an army of different and unique characters, opposite to my Isengard uruk-hai army, which am I also building. There are first 6 Mordor soldiers (the black ones are uruk-hai from Mordor).

[pid][/pid]202B Hi! I´d like to show you my first pirates/islanders MOC. The islanders have just catched one of the pirates and they´re preparing the lunch for their king. The main ingredient is our poor pirate, of course. I hope you´ll enjoy it. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=494202
