The orcs from the Amazon Rings of Power series looked absolutely AMAZING and I’m so sad that we’ve not had any models for them. That is until now! Forgemaster Miniatures have made some AMAZING sculpts heavily inspired by the series and they’re awesome! Watch along as I paint some Lord of the Rings warhammer miniatures and discuss the future of 3D printing.

If you see the Rings of Power by itself, and you know there is no connection at all with Tolkien, then I would rate single episodes from not too bad to so so. If there will be a season II (looks like it was announced, then possibly cancelled, at presents it seems to be on again) I'll most likely watch it. I just do not understand why, instead of coming up with their own original things, some people like to massacre pre-existing frenchise. Ideas are not finite, you CAN make more stuff. But, dulcis in fundo, yes, those orcs were absolutely amazing.

Cracking video as always mate. The paintjob looks great! The mini design is fantastic. I feel like we are living in the golden age of the hobby. Like you point out there are so many creative geniuses out there and with digital distribution these fantastic sculpts can be sent across the world without the logistical headaches of traditional manufacturing.

@B__C__ Жыл бұрын

As a fan of 40k ork boyz I really appreciate the fact that you can bring a purposely non-uniform mob of orks (or orcs) into a semblance of organization just by limiting yourself to 3 or 4 colors of paint. That said I kinda wish these orcs came with more options--say interchangeable heads. Well maybe in the next print run.

@BenjisHobbies Жыл бұрын

That’s why I think I loved painting these guys. A couple of ‘uniform’ colours across the lot made them cohesive even though they’re all wearing different robes! I think the different weapon options do make this kit incredibly versatile - I’ve not done the sums but I’m guessing there are thousands of different combinations that could be made, but I guess it would have been nice to have the odd modular head.

"say what you like about the rings of power"--Benji. Okay, the entire show was belittling to Tolkien's works. Huge CGI budget, what ruined it was race-baiting marketing and the same use of race to shield them from lazy writing from writers who want to go out of their way to disrespect the world that Tolkien had started created while in the trench's of WW1, his family that sold the rights to amazon should be ashamed of themselves. Keep to the original MESBG stuff not this crap. maybe new game time? Blood Bowl is cool, think a custom play pitch from you would look amazing and be a cool video.
