About the Project
I got carried away..... and this means the original core army would never, ever be finished if I keep expanding as I go along. So here is everything! I want to do a massive game somewhere around 10 or 12 thousand points a side. And I want the miniatures to be suitable for as many other game systems as possible. I don’t want to do things twice! Whom do we serve? “SARUMAN!”

Eerrm. So it’s Sci-fi version of Isenguard?!
Um, yeah so Isengard has a stargate transport ring in the pits below the tower. If you step through that ring you end up in it’s ‘more advanced’ tech department.
I haven’t got distracted or fed up with painting wolves.
No indeed.
Not at all.
Unofficial Hobby Hangout, this one’s for you.
So, my pals don’t have enough humans to take on the hai….I have been struggling for motivation on this Uruk hai project for a couple months now.
I’ve been trawling my way through it thinking there was very little interest other than my own insanity. Turns out I’ve been a techno fool, nothing new there but I suspect a 34 year old modern man (well, strategically shaved and shod to blend in with modern man) should know better with tech.
I have assumed that being low or no comments has meant little interest. The recent message from hobby hangout saying I’ve been visited has kicked my arse into gear, by showing me two things!
1) There is an unofficial hobby hangout with over 100 episodes for me to trawl through and ‘by the Gods!’ My project is in there a couple times and I’m flattered to fuck!
2) I’m a damn fool for going over a year without knowing I wasn’t only talking to myself.
You Chaps have given me second wind to plow ahead with the Uruks and Get the Hai finished forever! In the meantime I shall share my latest distraction caused by my mates. They can’t field 4/5000 points of enemy to take on my Orcoid glory. So I’ve been wading, balls deep, into proxy undead and proxy empire. Hope you like. I’m abandoning this distraction immediately, following my realisation of your existence, to finish the hai! Well, Until my internal voices get at the helm again at least. Moria Dwarfs are singing in the caverns of my mind…….
Gerry dear sir, I have added 2 more units with hai pikes. And I have added one more rank. Not quite 32 mate but it’s all I can stomach at this stage! ? I really appreciate your attention and feedback chaps, as it is entirely the motivation and criticism I need!
If anyones interested I can share my house rules for the orcs, undead pikes etc.
And allllll me movement trays are cardboard with coffee stiring sticks. Sometimes with magnetic sheet attached.
Any questions or comments please do keep em coming regardless of the medium by which you send it, it fuels me!
Every empire army needs some dwarfs!
Some middle age GW alongside my loved warlord cannon.
I told you. Isenguard has a Stargate, damn it!
And someone else has noticed Saruman has activated his gate.
“Go forth! Seek the credulous that we might bully them! In the name of the God Ra!”
I intend to make a slip cover for the grass base. The cover will suit my grey Moria battle board to look more cavern/dungeon like.Yep, I needed these extra empire. So my mates could play my orcs.
Well how else do you suppose artillery will get to the battlefield? This means we can play bronzino’s galloper guns protecting an artillery train being ambushed.
Every school of magic WILL get its fair representation. Then the hai will send a skirmish assault team to the wizards school to try and assassinate all the wizards. 
Religious fanatics would be witch hunters and clergy right? Well done gripping beast. Love these.
Jason and his argonauts would be for hire. And they would def bring a hydra. My name is also Jason and I can vouch for Jason’s bringing a hydra as standard to a battle. My pal says swordsman are among the best units in warhammer 6th. But we must convert some to look the same as the rest of our state troops. Here’s my experiment. I’m
Warlord games landsknechts, some missile troops and some pike troops converted to be empire swordsman. Shields from gripping beast.
Swords are left overs from my children of the hydras teeth skeletons.
Yeah, I reckon this is happening. Will I have enough swords left over from the skeletons?
Hmmm. ? how many skeletons do you need to earn these 3 free? ……I have enough swords.I made a vampire. He’s called Agador Spartacus. He insists on being called his full name, and he never wears shoes as they make him fall down.
Points to those who know the base miniature used.
Points to those who know from what film I take his name.
The other half of my distraction. The Dead half, part 1.
We all need wraiths and mummy’s. With zombie dragons. Also, armoured skeletons and grave guard. With a proxie Nagash.
Nagash in the background, Reg shoe is definitely an ideal standard for my Zombie units and how could I not have death somewhere?
Especially when the death of rats is present. This is sooo getting house ruled into our games.
Nagouron? Saugash? Saurash? Distraction of the dead! Part 2.
These Wraiths are a buggeration to rank up.
A classic in there, and the Reaper mummies look great.
I’m not convinced I’ve done folded wings very well for my zombie dragon construct, but it will do until I figure out what else to do with it!
How many skeleton chariots is enough? I know wargames Atlantic will be doing some soon right?
