PROJECT MUMAKIL (IV) HARADRIM CREW

some further steps here,


I am almost ready with some southron warrior from Harad to ride the first Mumak

Choice was more or less easy, I had just to find arabic looking figures.. (not so much known about Hard in books or films: that land corresponds roughly with real north africa or near east.. Desertic-nomad tribes and so on..)


HAt Almoravids and andalusians were taken this time, but maybe also strelets muslims go next,,,


A burnt red+black colour scheme as in Peter Jackson films Works fine too..Not so much work here, it was relaxing :)

I man painting more figures, in order to crew 2 beasts (next exemplar will be ready soomn) and have also some infantry
















Then i went for a further challenge: tHe Mumak needs a driver...


I use again Peter Jackson inspiration, in form of the Mumak Leader or "Mahud" according to the film bibliography..actually not so imaginative idea from Word "Mahoud" which means exactly.. ..elephant driver in india

These drivers look ferocious with a red banner behind his back, shaved head and black/brown/white warpaints..


i used one egyptian and one sumerian  as first experiments, and i like the result..


 I hade to borrow a samurái banner and make some clothe vest from Green stuff.. Easy and effective..

 

and here my humble results:













I can not help positng a pair of pictured of the the mumak with full crew, even if not 100%finished:


I like that, he will rule some battefields sooner or later...
