Isengard - The Fighting Uruk Hai
The Uruk Hai form the core of Saruman's Army of Isengard.
The Command - Saruman, Ugluk, Lurtz and Gorbag amongst others - these are all
metal figures (some duplicates and a couple of conversions:
The Core of the army lies in 3 warbands of Pikemen - note that there are no
figures with levelled pikes (more on that later)
The Pike command - all converted plastic figures, the captain has a metal head
from the sprue of parts from the magazine, an old Citadel Chaos shield and the
drum is the top part of a Biro pen cap and his drumsticks are pins with a blob
of superglue on the end.
Pikemen
The main support troops are the swordsmen:
Crossbowmen make up the missile troops and these were hard and very expensive.
So I decided on conversions, the first warband was made from the pikemen with
levelled pikes and Gripping Beast metal crossbows, the second warband again used
more pikemen with levelled pikes and various crossbow arms from plastic medieval
figures bought on the internet. The pikemen with levelled pikes were chosen
because they were easier to convert.
Out in front of the army are the Scouts
And last but not least - the Sappers.
