Half-Orcs of the White Hand 🧙🏻‍♂️🧌

More Elan Merch Lotr miniatures from 1978! These are again based off of the Ralph Bakshi 1978 animated film. Half man and half orc, the Half-orcs of Isengard were bred by Saruman along with the Uruk-hai. They played a part in the many battles against Rohan and the scouring of the Shire in the books. Tried to go for the sallow skinned look described in the books. It’s nice to see that one film adaptation actually included them in the story!

“But there were some others that were horrible: man-high, but with goblin-faces, sallow, leering, squint-eyed.” - Merry , the Two Towers chapter 9 Flotsam and Jetsam
