This is my first entry of the 15th Challenge. This is not the first thing I've painted since last spring, just the first that I've photographed and posted.
Rhys picked this model out for me as my first model of the Challenge. I've wanted Sharku for years but could never find him in metal; only fine-crap (Finecast, a misnomer if there's ever been one). Last December ('22) I was in the UK and made it to Warhammer World and they had Sharku in metal. Problem solved.

| Sharku, Champion of Orcthanc. |
The metal model is nice and chunky, though a little nose heavy on the wharg.
 |
| It's nice that the rules for LotR require you to have a food mounted version of each mounted model. Two for one! |
 |
| This big knife is not really to my taste but I guess it's movie accurate. |
 |
| You can see a bit of the nose lean-i-ness of the mounted model here. |
I based him the same as my Mordor army even though he's Isengard, just because he's an orc and I'll use him as a mounted orc hero in my Mordor army. (Also, apropos of nothing, spell check knows that Mordor should be capitalized). There are six wharg riders right behind him in the queue, so we're starting to make progress.
