I would LOVE to see this in the actual game, because if Mevans adds in Moria orcs, I NEED to see these guys. Moria would not only be very cool and powerful, it would look like a 100 times that.

Amazing job mate! If you would like, I have some suggestions for your chieftain below;

First, I love how the moria orcs helmet is red, but you chose white for the chieftain. Very nice contrast.

I suggest for there to be some kind of face paint/smudges on the chieftain, maybe even darker grey stripes as scars if you want. (like war paint and battle scars) Then you should make an OVERLAY like the chieftains helmet, and have that very white, like polished bones, with holes for the mouth, eyes, and possibly nose.

The eyes for the chieftain could be very blue perhaps, and the skin pretty light grey (as they are in the mountains and underground, skin color at a minimum)

Make the helmet be more of a MASK. Pretend if you go into a store, and theres like a gorilla mask, yea? Like that, just its made out of a couple skulls and bones and is very crude.

The armor looks good too, but I would also suggest to have the chieftain wear more dwarven armor than other orcs, as they would want more protection and to stand out simultaneously. A hint of dark blue as well perhaps?

Great job dude! I screenshotted your moria orc guy, will use it as a skin perhaps someday? XD If you dont mind? Nice suggestions, I'll be sure to implement them in one way or another. One thing I may deviate is the idea of the chief having a helmet; I would prefer him to either be bare faced or, as you say, have a mask of some kind, to follow in the grand tradition of orc chiefs.

The chiefs design is actually based on the description of the one in the book (who was apparently wearing a black mail). However, I think giving him some Dwarven armour would be better (I'm think maybe just a few pieces, like a shoulder guard or leg plate). I agree his skin tone should be lighter so as to stand out, but I'm not sure about the blue eyes - it seems a little out of character for an Orc.

Love the idea of battle scars and face paint (was already simmering in my mind). I'll see what I can come up with.

And to finish, you can absolutely use my skin if you so desire. I'll provide a picture in the coming posts for you.
