Oldhammer Orc on Tusker & 80s LOTR Uruk-Hai

Taken from full post here:
link

In this post, another 32 painted Oldhammer Greenskins joins the Horde.
Plus we show off some surprising non-Orc allies/slaves?
So lets start with a painted gallery of figures, and in the second half… some fluff for the impending battle report!

Left to Right: General Remulak on Orc Tusker, General Snarktail on Wolf.

Remulak comes from a rare Orc species known as the Conehead Orcs. They are more intelligent than the average Orc greenskin. Their unusual head shape unfortunately also makes Conehead children the target for lots of Orc bullying. However, the survivors that make it to adulthood end up being the most cunning and cruel of greenskins. Remulak rides an Orc Tusker, a creature from a forgotten time, the Pre Slotta age. This figure comes from the legendary Fiend Factory line from Citadel's Pre Slotta era.

80s LOTR Uruk-Hai.
From left to right: Uruk Hai guard, Captain Gorgo, Uruk Hai guard.

These 3 Uruk Hai are vintage Citadel ME-44 Uruk Hai Guards. They are the leaders of a unit known as The Uruk Fireballs. Captain Gorgo is related to the Gor Brothers. They come from Fireball Island, a volcanic rock in the middle of Lake Nurnen in Mordor.

Somewhere on the southern border of the Shire. An Orc General on his Tusker and his Uruk Hai underlings have just found out that their Elephant beastman is missing.

"What do you mean you lost the Mumak? Its a bloody giant beastie!" the Orc General Remulak screams at his soldiers from atop his Tusker.

"We last saw him grazing near the Shire – you know, that green flowery happy place that makes us Orcs sick to our gullets." says one Uruk.

"Yeah we hate happy places!" says another Uruk.


"Assemble the Horde!" says Remulak.

The hills are surrounded with more orcs than you can shake an axe at!

jpattern2,

Thanks buddy!
Yup, poor Tuskers didnt make it to later editions, they went belly up and got themselves extinct. :(
