This video is about a year in the making as I inadvertently forgot filming it. :)
But here is how and why I converted Mordor Uruk-Hai from a box of Isengard Uruk-hai scouts.

I just ordered for myself a box of Uruk Hai scouts x24. So thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to painting these.

lovley video mate, very inspiring, i had the same idea and decided to KZfaq if anybody had done it, perfect kit for conversions, converting can be really satisfying as well. excited to play the cirith ungol legion.

Thanks, you are too kind. I think that Kit bashing is my favourite hobby activity- I prefer it to painting. The CU LL is defo a fun one. Drop me some pics of your kit bashes if you like: windrushwargamers@gmail.com would love to see them.

Awesome converts, I'm thinking of the Oathmark plastic orcs for Uruks, thoughts on them?

They look cool and scale nicely, they are broader than orcs but that is why they wold work for Uruks. They have a cool 80's style as well

Any advice on how to make capes for my Minas Tirith warriors conversion? My last attempt was not too good. Thanks!
@windrushwargamers2745
@windrushwargamers2745 Жыл бұрын
I have a couple of tips, just general things really: 1. If you roll out the greenstuff thin and let it cure for about 20-40 mins it will be less tacky and slightly easier to work with- this should work well for fabric 2. I saw a tip where if you use a small amount of super glue to adhere the GS to the model it means you can focus on working with sculpting the rest as it is less likely to become separated. I guess for capes it would need to be glued at the neck or shoulders. 3. If you roll it out - you can curt the basic shape out with a hobby knife before applying to the model. 4.I use a little cooking oil on m tools so they don't stick, some people use Vaseline or hand lotion- all good. Just wipe it off when the GS is cured before painting 5. Lastly. I use a mixture of 'dental tools' and soft tipped clay shapers. I normally start with the hard tools and finish off with the clay shapers. I am not the best at sculpting by any means but I hope these help. It is a difficult skill and like with anything putting the hours in helps. I need to practice more to improve. If all else fails then you can always buy some capes - 3D prints or third party reasonably. Thanks.

@@windrushwargamers2745 Thanks man! I truly appreciate your advice and time. I got back into the hobby way back when the Lord of the Rings movie came out. And have been really practicing technique Re washes, blending, shading…I’m way far out from expert level and will be for a long time. So watching you guys really inspire me to step outside the box. Lately I’ve been into conversions. Minas Tirith Warriors, Uruk-Hai…so again I really appreciate you taking the time to go thru the steps. I’ll let you know how they turn out. I look forward to your next video. Thanks Joe

@windrushwargamers2745 Жыл бұрын
Hi, I don't have one right now. I could make one. I have a few ideas. Either re-capping the conversions I have done previously (the Cirith Ungol Orcs with scavenged Minas Tirith Armour, or my Angmar orc conversions). Another idea might be converting the orcs from the rings of power. The orcs were one of the few things I liked about it. Does any of that appeal? what are you working on right now?
