If you have any dinosaurs you could make a large armored mount for either the shaman or the squad of archers to hide up and fire down on enemies. Or even instead of using wargs the scouts could use raptors or other dinosaur like creatures. Anyway another absolute W army!
I would love to add a couple dinosaurs at some point I've seen people like bybeezon and a lot of custom minifigure people on Instagram make some awesome orc mounts. I don't have any at the moment though but eventually I'll get to picking some up.
@@rio0393 I’d recommend the $20 Dilophosaurus Jurassic park set due to it being quite cheap and coming with a dinosaur that fits the color scheme of the orks. However it is kinda small compared to the other dinosaurs. Or the Triceratops research set could work as well considering it is brown and much larger to possibly accommodate for more orks. Though he comes in a $50 set. Idk what the second hand market for Lego Dino’s is but I CANT imagine it will be good.
Lore for the Orc Armies (My take): Who are they? The Orcs, alongside their taxonomic relatives, the Trolls, were originally part of a villainous horde, led by Mallock the Malign and his army of the dead. But after the Evil Wizard’s defeat at the hands of Crown King Brutus, and famed time traveler, Clutch Powers, the Orcs were forced into exile in the steppes and swamps. However, they are slowly making plans to conquer the world, again, under the command of Azog Hazeldine, the Orc Sorcerer Supreme. Azog Hazeldine, the Orc Sorcerer Supreme - 0:28 Unlike the Trolls, who have a designated Royal Family, the Orc’s government is led by a council of High Warlords and Commanders, each representing a different faction (clan, nation or war band). With a selected member of the council to act as a de facto leader. Azog Hazeldine, the Orc Sorcerer Supreme, is the current de facto leader of his people’s council. Back before he was the Orc Sorcerer Supreme, he was an apprentice of the Troll Queen. General Gothmonger - 0:53 So, remember the battle wheel that the Orcs and Trolls used to barrel towards the Crown Knights' catapult and barricade trap. Well, General Gothmonger, the Orc’s chief siege engineer is responsible for its creation. Seeing how effective Gothmonger’s invention was, Azog immediately made him a member of his council. Putting him in charge of their heavy weapons and siege machines. Thrall the ‘Skullcrusher’ - 1:10 You’re probably wondering how did Thrall got the alias, the ‘Skullcrusher’. Well, back when Mallock the Malign and his allies launched their invasion, the orcs and trolls were told not to go for the heads when fighting the Crown Knights and Dwarves. This was because, in order to turn fallen soldiers into zombies and skeletons, their heads need to be intact. Unfortunately, Thrall usually forgot this rule, and thus was given the nickname; the ‘Skullcrusher’. Gul'jaeden, the ‘Bonemaster’ - 1:35 Did you know, that the orcs and trolls had already wanted to conquer the world even before they met Mallock the Malign? That’s right! It was only after Gul'jaeden, who used to be an adviser for the Troll King, ran into Mallock the Malign, who was kind accept aid from the orcs and trolls. But only under the condition that Gul’jaeden would study necromancy. And thus, when Azog put Gul’jaeden on his council, he was given the alias; the ‘Bonemaster’. Commander Lurtz - 2:03 Inspired by Lord of the Rings, Lurtz is a half-orc, half-Uruk-hai who is the current commander of the Uruk-hai Armies, the most powerful of all orcs. Like in the books and movies, Lurtz was the first born from the first batch of Uruk-hai. Not only is he stronger than any other Uruk-hai, he is also smarter. And that is always a dangerous combination. He feels no pain, only rage. Which automatically landed him a spot on the Orc’s Council. Orkenburg Khan - 2:18 Just like in Lord of the Rings, while humans fought against the Orcs and Trolls invading their land, others joined them in their conquest. The first of these Human Collaborators was of course, Mallock the Malign. But even after his defeat, there are still human collaborating with the Orcs and Trolls. These Human Collaborators are led by orc warlord, Orkenburg Khan, the sixth member of Azog’s council. Lord Morgothius - 2:34 As you can see from his appearance, Lord Morgothius’ attire is meant to be modern interpretation of the old Orc and Troll Warriors. Although his shield’s design has been updated, the symbol on his chest is identical. This is because, Lord Morgothius in charge of the Orc’s many celebrations and events. However, he tends to be way too… traditional. Abrakkar, the Assassin King of Ankoria - 2:53 Did you know, that the Orcs and Trolls meet another evil wizard before Mallock the Malign? That’s right! Back then, a clan of Orcs once settled in the lost Kingdom of Ankoria. Where they got along with its previous ruler and inhabitants, until Lord Vladek took control over Ankoria. Vladek actually asked them for an alliance with the Orcs and Trolls. But they rejected, saying that they already had their own evil Wizard.
Cool orc horde. I also used chima croc torsos for custom orcs. I would also sugest looking up Nexo Knights figures like Crust Smasher and Beast Master. They are very cheap and they can be also used for custom orc figs.
Those Chima Croc torsos and legs really worked well here. I don't like Chima but some of the minifig parts are awesome for castle MOCs. I find the Croc minifigure heads look a lot like Argonians from Skyrim. Awesome video, keep it up. Subbed!
Yeah I just had them because as a kid I got the big croc ship for my birthday a long time ago, their an awesome and cheap alternative for parts to the 10 dollar cmf orc! I've never played Skyrim sadly but It looks super fun, thanks for watching and subbing :)
I can give you an estimate but I got some from lots so it's hard to say exactly but I know I've bought around 100 dollars of just the cmf on bricklink excluding ones from lots, the chima croc parts are all from my childhood so not stuff I bought specifically as well as most of the lord of the rings parts were from my childhood through trading so didn't really cost me anything now either. To average out the cost of the ones from lots which includes all the big figs which some of which go for about 40 bucks each and the troll queen who's also about 40 bucks I would say the army might have cost me about 300 dollars but hard to say exact due to a lot of stuff being from lots.
@@KommanderKaren Yeah lotr happened when I barely had money so I don't have that many of the sets or figures but I have a few and I traded for a lot of orcs as a kid. I want to try and buy a big lotr lot at some point when I have extra money
Great repurposing and recombining of elements from different sets! Lots of interesting choices with good effect, such as the Chima bony legs and also the helmet and cape color coordination (and more.) Keep up the great work!
@@rio0393 I can understand with the black knights torso being very generic but honestly to me there the best faction and if you do have the white knight you should make an army
@@wholeset oh haha I most definetely do not have that figure and have no intention of getting him he's so expensive and me personally I don't understand it. I would rather buy like 20 normal figures personally.

@@JurassicWarz.124 Thanks I'll check them out I mainly just want ones that match the color scheme and that I can mount orcs onto somehow!
Sweet orcs bro
Thanks man I appreciate it

I actually have both those figs from my nexo knight days as a child maybe I'll make a small race of fire orcs or something
Great army.
Love the mini figures, use of parts and details.
Awesome glad you enjoyed!
All I'm thinking now it's Shadows of Mordor and War, and you nailed it 👌
Thanks a lot I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed!

I see why you called your big armies in the other video "smaller" now! So many orcs!
Yeah I think I have 24 or 25 orcs I'm very happy with the size of their army
Incredible collection of orcs! Would love to see a final price total of these!

@rio0393 lego lotr happened during my dark age 😭 pretty sure I even hand wrote a letter to lego begging them to make lotr as a child
@@KommanderKaren Yeah lotr happened when I barely had money so I don't have that many of the sets or figures but I have a few and I traded for a lot of orcs as a kid. I want to try and buy a big lotr lot at some point when I have extra money

Thank you!

I appreciate it
Love it. Inspiration!
Awesome I'm glad you did have fun building some orcs!
cant wait for a black knight army also the troll army looks great
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed, I've done almost nothing with my black knights atm but I'll make a video on them at some point
@@rio0393 I can understand with the black knights torso being very generic but honestly to me there the best faction and if you do have the white knight you should make an army
@@wholeset yeah their pretty cool hopefully we get a remake! Also what do you mean white knight?
@@rio0393 The rare 100 dollar knight with white dragon plumes im saving up for one my self
@@wholeset oh haha I most definetely do not have that figure and have no intention of getting him he's so expensive and me personally I don't understand it. I would rather buy like 20 normal figures personally.
Hachiroku did some brick built boars that are great for Orcs to ride on. I managed to make 4 different color varieties.,
Oh sweet I'll check that out!
if you want to have no pants orcs/troll tthe triceratops CMF legs works well with tthe CMF orc/troll and the chima torso legs.
Oh yeah those could be cool
yes lets see troll army
Alright I need to get some sand green hands cause a lot of my trolls are missing hands but I will at some point make a video on it!
FYI the shoulder pads are from the Batman mini figure series
Ah their pretty cool I should look into getting some more thanks!
I way to get big orcs without using the big trolls are getting the newer hulk body and replacing the head with a orc one
Yeah I've seen those you can do some pretty cool stuff with them, maybe I'll get one and try it out!
And if you want some armor on it can you use the left arm on the ragnarok hulk
Do troll army pleaaw
Yes that will come soon(ish) *Don't quote me
