Blood Eagle, Uruk-Hai Scouts Warband: Urgrat

As announced, I have begun constructing an Uruk-Hai Scouts warband.

To arrive at the profile below for Urgrat, the leader of the pack, I first figured out how I wanted the profile of a standard scout to be, then tweaked that to represent an especially nasty Uruk, put in charge of one of the small raiding parties harassing the Rohirrim.

The white spot in Urgrat's hair is a paint chip
- I accidentally dropped him
when taking the warband out of the box
for photography
(and much cursing occurred)
I had to invent a new trait, 'Endurance', to represent the Uruk-Hai being able to run heavily encumbered. I have rated it at points cost 5, time will tell if it is too much or too little.

Like the Rohan warriors, the Uruk-Hai will be re-based, and any necessary touch-ups will be done after that.
