Try replacing knight heads and warrior heads with the Scorpion guys from the
Hydronaut series! They have a sinister and inhuman appearance. Orcs in the
Tolkien world were Melkor's perversion of the captured Elves into his own
image in ancient Middle Earth history. The head change does the trick just
fine! Try it on some of your old Fright Knight swordsmen with the breastplate
print and see what you think!

Well thank you for the feedback. Now you have sparked my interest and I'm
going to have to search for some hydronaut sets and see how your suggestion
looks. On the Tolkien subject Lego could use a lot of it's existing pieces
and mini-figs to create Middle Earth/ Lord of the Rings sets. I guess us
Tolkien fans will have to keep our fingers crossed as the release of the movie
approaches. I think a Lord of the Rings theme would have much more Castle
playability then the Harry Potter idea I've heard thrown around here on
LUGNET. Thanks again
Andy

I've tried this with Space figs, and they make darn fine aliens as well.
Glad to see someone else thought of this. :^)
