Very nice. Initially I sometimes was like "mäh .. that ork face could be a bit more detailed " .. but when you hold the figurine in your fingers you realize how flipping tiny these heads are .. so well done!
Thanks! Yeah, the Middle Earth minis are quite small when you have them in hand. It's easy to forget that they are on 25mm bases when you only see pictures of them.
Obligatory note about wearing a dust mask and vacuuming up your work area when filing this much resin, despite assurances that it's non-toxic. Lovely job on these: modding minis to prevent the horror of even two identical models is what slows my own output to a dribble, so it's inspiring to see someone blasting through this many monoposes with such purposeful attention to detail and organisation.
Lads of Warhammer and So forth are amazing! The Patience, the Art! Sure it takes time, but it’s that time and the effort that is so brilliant! Oh, and the considerably wide wallets!😂
Very cool, really enjoy the process and the choices you’ve made. Doing 20 Horus Heresy Mk VI space marines right now, with forge world helmets and weapons for the World Eaters.
Nice video! really like the conversions! I convert most of my SBG models as I don't like having duplicates so I usually go through a similar process of cutting up my minis and rearranging them into different configurations for maximum variety
Oh yeah how to fix the malformed spears is so useful! Subscribed bro, I’ve always wanted to collect the Gundabad/Azog army from the Battle of Five Armies.
Love it dude started to put together my own azogs legion it's all been in my pile of shame since Christmas only thing I'm missing is bolg sadly he was sold out at Christmas
I thought that when I seen the video go up😂 cause he was in my cart for 2 weeks prior.. you got any ideas for bats or ogres I'm not loving the forge world ones. I did how ever like the troll awesome model
They do, don't they? I love both designs in the films, but I prefer these sculpts to the plastic Uruk-Hai. They were cool in 2002, but their age is starting to show.
Woahh, they look incredible man. Amazing video. Brave man diving back in with finecast but you nailed it cant wait to see them painted up. Love the idea of doing an Azogs hoard one day, but I think my new army will be thranduils halls or a fall of Gondolin themed army(or both lol).
It would be cool if the recent show inspires any sort of second age models - with a bit of tweaking I think the aesthetic would work great for some first age elves! That army sounds incredible, but Mirkwood is beautiful as well!
@Yasha Breslove Yeh the armoured elves and orcs we see would be class to get models for. Not sure how I feel about the Numenorians though I prefer my converted army.
@@KabinMiniatures Oh, the Range has so much to offer, what ever fancies your boat! Would like to see some Mirkwood or Lothlórien Elves. Although Mirkwood is Finecast aswell xD :) I'm currently working on my Dwarves of Khazad-Dum Army.
Hej Vad roligt att jag hittade din kanal och speciellt den här videon. Jag minns också att vi spelade tillsammans i ditt vardagsrum, då vi hittade på egna missions. // Marcus
Awesome, awesome work! I’m also returning to Middle Earth, and though I’ve been eyeing Angmar (and the gorgeous new Witch-King), I couldn’t help but fall in love with the Gundabad orc aesthetic. When I looked for these models they were out of stock (now I know why lol) but this is an excellent guide and use of the sculpts and upgrades. I absolutely love the custom helmet you made with the Chaos skull, epic stuff dude! Happy New Year, and good luck destroying the world of Men :D
Thank you so much, my friend! Really? That's cool! 😁 I'm only sure when I started because I remember my first White Dwarf was issue 250, and that was October 2000. Do you remember your first issue?
So Spain had their own version of White Dwarf, I didn't know that! Mine are all in English, so it's the UK original numbering. To my knowledge, they were never translated into Swedish, although at one point they had Scandinavian currencies listed for the new releases.
@@KabinMiniatures That makes sense. Almost everything is translated/dubbed here in Spain, while in Sweden that's not the case, right? That explains our broken English. 😅
bro im not getting your notifications anymore . it says i am but ive had to actively search your channel to get your last few clips .. oh and happy new year mate .
Hmmm, that sounds weird? I guess CZcams can be buggy sometimes. If the problem continues, you can always follow on other social media to get notifications over there about new content. All the info is currently on top of the community tab and links are on the channel page as well. Happy New Year to you too!
I have that recollection, too, at least from the original edition 20+ years ago. Haven't read through the entire updated rules manual yet, but a quick flick-through tells me that many of the core mechanics seem to be the same.
Awesome conversions and video, cant wait for the next part! Any chance that you share the conversion document? I dont own any of these models but would be great to get some inspiration.
I know, right? I've seen some decent STL files, but I don't have a 3D printer. And some of the third party resin options are quite expensive and IMO not as movie accurate as the GW ones.
nice army! my part 1 of building Azogs Legion would be: Dont build Azogs legion xD You payed a sheit ton of money and your cast aswell was very low quality. Shoddy at best. The ammount of work you had to put into these things just to receive a decent outcome... no way.
The so called finecast is a total joke. Just look at the amount of work you have to put in just to get the mini ready for the primer, it's ridiculous :D
It's true, there's a lot of work involved... it's oddly satisfying to me though. That said, I totally prefer plastic when it comes to rank and file troops like these, it would have saved me so much time!
I'm not into this hobby but very much into watching others do it, but that raisin thing just looksbad this models looks really bad..I know you can make them awesome but on factory level they are dreadful.
Cool that you like to watch others work with miniatures, I do that myself with other hobbies that I'm not active with myself. As for Finecast resin, there is a reason why it has such a poor reputation... but I find it oddly satisfying to try to make it look as good as possible.
Very nice. Initially I sometimes was like "mäh .. that ork face could be a bit more detailed " .. but when you hold the figurine in your fingers you realize how flipping tiny these heads are .. so well done!
Thanks! Yeah, the Middle Earth minis are quite small when you have them in hand. It's easy to forget that they are on 25mm bases when you only see pictures of them.
Azog legion is a nice army
Definitely! 👍

You're quite right, safety first! 👍
Thank you so much! I know the feeling... the Gundabads took quite some time, but I think it was worth it.
Lads of Warhammer and So forth are amazing! The Patience, the Art! Sure it takes time, but it’s that time and the effort that is so brilliant! Oh, and the considerably wide wallets!😂
Thank you kindly! My wallet would probably do a lot better if Warhammer had never been invented 🤣
Nice Project
Thanks 😄
cool
Thanks!
Fantastic work. Love the amount of research you went in for this as your conversions really show it.
Thank you so much! It took a lot of time to freeze frame my way through scenes, but it was very interesting to discover all the different designs!
Very cool, really enjoy the process and the choices you’ve made. Doing 20 Horus Heresy Mk VI space marines right now, with forge world helmets and weapons for the World Eaters.
Thank you so much! The Mk VI are awesome, I bet they look even better with those upgrades 👍
Nice video, makes me started with my own
Thanks 😄
Nice video! really like the conversions! I convert most of my SBG models as I don't like having duplicates so I usually go through a similar process of cutting up my minis and rearranging them into different configurations for maximum variety
Thank you so much! Great minds think alike and all that 😉 it's extra work, but I think it's worth it!
Dude. Awesome.
Thanks, man!
Amazing! Such incredible details
Thank you so much! 😊
Oh yeah how to fix the malformed spears is so useful! Subscribed bro, I’ve always wanted to collect the Gundabad/Azog army from the Battle of Five Armies.
Thanks, man! I agree it's an awesome army and I'm glad I could help with the spears 👍
Nice work on those conversions. I still need to get some gundabads.
Thank you so much! Once you clean up all the Finecast "artefacts," the Gundabad sculpts look great IMO.
Love it dude started to put together my own azogs legion it's all been in my pile of shame since Christmas only thing I'm missing is bolg sadly he was sold out at Christmas
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Good luck with your army 👍 I'm sorry if it was me that snagged the last Bolg in stock 😳
I thought that when I seen the video go up😂 cause he was in my cart for 2 weeks prior.. you got any ideas for bats or ogres I'm not loving the forge world ones. I did how ever like the troll awesome model
Never seen these up close, they look remarkably uruk-hai like.
They do, don't they? I love both designs in the films, but I prefer these sculpts to the plastic Uruk-Hai. They were cool in 2002, but their age is starting to show.
Happy to see that you as well are a big fan of Tolkien, the miniatures look fantastic! Can’t wait to see the result
Thank you so much, Max! 😄
Great video :)
Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much! Fall of Gondolin would be EPIC, have GW produced anything for that???
@Kabin Miniatures Sadly not I doubt they would get first age rights 😞. Will be using rivendell rules I think but will convert heros.
@J Macc's Armies of Middle Earth Too bad, but you have a great idea and I think it would be awesome 👍
It would be cool if the recent show inspires any sort of second age models - with a bit of tweaking I think the aesthetic would work great for some first age elves! That army sounds incredible, but Mirkwood is beautiful as well!

Thank you so much! Azog’s Legion Part 2 is definitely in the pipeline 👍 what else would you like to see in regards to Middle Earth?
@@KabinMiniatures Oh, the Range has so much to offer, what ever fancies your boat! Would like to see some Mirkwood or Lothlórien Elves. Although Mirkwood is Finecast aswell xD :)
I'm currently working on my Dwarves of Khazad-Dum Army.
@@pWndConan Nice! Khazad-Dûm sounds like an awesome army 👍
Awesome video! Love Azog's legion and som real good hobby tips. Thank you so much. Looking forward to your next video :) Cheers
Thank you so much! Vad kul att ni gillade videon, grymt att det finns en bra community för MESBG i Sverige 👍
Those conversions are fantastic
Thank you so much 😄 it was time-consuming but quite satisfying to add this variety to the army!
Thanks, really enjoyed watching this.
I'm glad you like it, thank you so much!
nice, can we see the finish or even painting of the models would be nice? good work with modifications
Thank you so much! 😄 that's what I'm currently working on for part 2 👍

Wow, thank you so much! 😊 Angmar is also an excellent choice, my friend! I'm sorry I bought all of GW's Gundabad stock... 🙈
Nice job with the customization, specially with the helmets! By the way, we got into the hobby at the same time and with the same age!
Thank you so much, my friend! Really? That's cool! 😁 I'm only sure when I started because I remember my first White Dwarf was issue 250, and that was October 2000. Do you remember your first issue?

msbg really is a fantastic game. you don't really care about wonky the models are because the game is so simple to play.

Thank you so much! Hopefully I can have it finished in a couple of months. I have a "normal" job and do this channel in my sparetime.
@@KabinMiniatures Can't wait, have fun. Greetings from Poland ;) !
@Damian Cebi Cool, there's an awesome wargaming community in Poland, from what I gather. I've sourced some great hobby supplies from there!
@@KabinMiniatures Cool! It used to start with Deagostini newspapers, and today a lot of people here play various battle games. :)
@@damiancebi9094 Awesome!
Awesome conversions and video, cant wait for the next part! Any chance that you share the conversion document? I dont own any of these models but would be great to get some inspiration.
Thank you so much! Part 2 will hopefully be live in a few days. That's a great idea! I'm going to figure out the best way of sharing them 👍
@@KabinMiniatures Perfect 👍
I think you could share the document with everyone how has the link via google drive.
you will taste man flesh !
Strangely applies to uruks and night lords
Good point 🤣
Damn.... finecast. Are there no alternative 3D printed options out there?
I know, right? I've seen some decent STL files, but I don't have a 3D printer. And some of the third party resin options are quite expensive and IMO not as movie accurate as the GW ones.
i had same issue and used super orcs on etsy site really do look same as gunabad orcs on GW site
You're right, those look pretty cool!
Do you think anybody does 3D bits for LOTR? If not, maybe we could be the first; there's already so many for Warhammer fantasy and 40K
Hmmm... I've seen STL files and third party miniatures sold, but bits I'm not sure of?
