Shagrat, Captain of Cirith Ungol

After painting up a heap of rank and file so far for Orktober, it's time to add a character model to the finished heap today.

And that is none other then Shagrat, the Mordor Uruk-hai and a powerful warrior in the game.

Though I must say, it's the version with shield you see popping up in games, and I went for the classic metal one instead, who carries Frodo's discarded Mithril Coat.

 

The model is a great leader for a warband in a Mordor force, with some solid stats and a nice set of special rules, making him worth every point.  And being an uruk-hai, they are de facto nothing to be scoffed at on the tabletop, as the elite of the elite in orcdom in the game.

Next up, time for some cavalry!
