These look like Uruk-hai, those orcs bred by Saruman and you've got the White hand appropriately on them. I vaguely recall something about human-orc hybrids but can't remember where it appears and the context. At any rate fine job painting these beastly fellows. Bring on the siege ladders!
I agree ! excellent work on those half-orcs ! the dark skin is a good choice like they are not green ( neither goblins ).
For the "copy-rights" ,
Uruk-Hai is under copyright , but like said Gunnar, not "
orc" and "
half" ( or goblin, elf, dwarf ).
"Hobbit" is protected but not "halfling", half-man ...
If I remember, they were created with "dark-elves", those who fall long time before the War if the Ring into the Sauron's dark-side.
