Mumak on the loose

With the Lord of the Rings campaign coming up, in January, I need to expand my army a bit, to give myself some more options.  This is nice because it is giving me motivation to complete models that I've had sitting around but that don't have a place in my normal armies.

I'll prime and paint him like this and do the howdah separately.
I bought this model at the same time as the rest of my Haradrim, but it has sat in the box since then.  I got as far as removing it from the sprues.  Now that I will be able to field armies at over 600 points, this baby will have a new home.

I'll be adding some other elements to my army over the next couple of months as well, so keep your eyes peeled in this space.

    1. Thanks Ray. I agree, it's going to be a great looking model, with or without my painting skills involved.

    1. Ian, The base itself has three horses (half) and six guys on it, so lots of extra painting there. I also haven't assembled the howdah yet, which is several inches tall on it's own. The size of this thing is part of the reason I didn't do it when I did the rest of my army. it's been sitting in the basement calling my name for two years.

  4. Massive! As someone who is only painting 15mm, I don't even know where I'd start on this. I can't wait to see it on a tabletop next year!

    1. I have to admit I'm having a bit of that myself. It's big enough I could probably paint it while holding the brush in my teeth. Perhaps that's the way around the shoulder problem.
