A Tale of Good & Evil: Mordor Orc Captains

THE SHORT VERSION

Adrian Wood turns Gorbag and Shagrat into personal Captains named Borug and Orgoth. A donor shield and weapon alter their silhouettes, while a brighter metal treatment and additional face highlights make them stand out from the rank and file. Graveyard Earth adds another neutral colour without breaking the army’s scheme. The article combines modest conversions with selective extra painting effort to personalise familiar character models.
