The Uruk-Hai Captain's name is Lurtz.
That is true, but this one isn't Lurtz - in the game, you can have unnamed captains - of which he is one. I've got Lurtz somewhere...
Is is difficult to paint such small figurines?
It is at first, but after practice, it becomes easier - over the years i've been doing it i've picked up a lot of hints, tips and techniques that both improve my overall quality, and the time it takes.
Also, it depends on how they're going to be used - 'Game quality' is good enough for the tabletop - so they look alright from 3-4ft away. 'Show quality' is really trying to bring life to them - making them look as good as possible, and takes time. Aragorn took me around 5 hours to get right. In those same five hours I can get a detachment of Confederate Cavalry done at a table quality.
If i'm painting huge numbers of troops - such as a load of Gondorian troops, or Colonial Militia, then they'll be game quality. For individual figures, heroes and commanders, they're usually show quality - they often need to stand out compared to the ordinary troops.
For instance - Gandalf is 'show quality', while the Gondorian Soldier next to him is 'game quality':

And the same with the Uruk-Hai:

Very impressive display you have, Astor. Was it alot of fun collecting and getting them together or were they pre-assembled?
These ones are all single part, white metal figures, but Games Workshops flagship ranges (40k and Fantasy) are usually made up of multi-part figures that allow for variability in the figures. I'll try and get some pictures up of a few of them. And yes, I find it very fun... I don't play very much, but I find the painting to be very relaxing.
