Tolkien Orc Kitbash p.26 - More orcses painted, Precious

[Munindk]

Great painting as always

As others have said you've really taken the otherwise lacklustre Oathmark wolves to another level.
That said, I still think the GW Fell Wargs and Fenrisian wolves are better and more dynamic.

[Captain Blood]

Thanks all

The Warg second from the right in last picture looks decidedly happy, what has he just eaten
Looks as happy as a dog with its head out of a car window  

He does look like he's smiling doesn't he?

[Captain Blood]

Well, after a considerable hiatus in which I've been a bit busy with all things ECW, I've finally finished my second batch of kitbashed Haradrim...

Assembled, as explained somewhere way up above, with bits from about 20 different plastic kits... 










Here they are with their earlier brothers in arms...




And with their pet Oliphaunt...




Just one more Mumakil to go (nearly finished) and then I'm done with these, and back onto more orcs and trolls...

And when my Victrix Normans arrive - Men of The West!!! 

[Cubs]

Fantastic stuff!

Looking good!

Perfect Haradrim.

Would you paint one or two with red paint on their cheeks?

[Captain Blood]

Thanks lads.

Perfect Haradrim.

Would you paint one or two with red paint on their cheeks?

Oooh. I don’t know, Nick. Was that a thing in the books? I’ve tried to stick to Tolkien’s description as far as poss - black and red clothing, yellow shields, black serpent symbol, brazen armour (IIRC), brown skin… There’s not a huge amount to go on… I may have missed the warpaint reference 

[AKULA]

Fantastic looking bunch of Haradrim 

[nicknorthstar]

Yeah, it's something that stuck with me from when I first red it. I imagined the Haradrim from that time as Pauline Baynes characters with painted Red Cheeks.

"'More Men going to Mordor,' he [Gollum] said in a low voice. 'Dark faces. We have not seen Men like these before... They are fierce. They have black eyes, and long black hair, and gold rings in their ears... lots of beautiful gold. And some have red paint on their cheeks, and red cloaks and their flags are red, and the tips of their spears; and they have round shields, yellow and black with big spikes. Not nice; very cruel wicked Men they look. Almost as bad as Orcs, and much bigger. Sméagol thinks they have come out of the South beyond the Great River's end..."

[Captain Blood]

Perfect. Red face paint it is on the next ones - the Mumakil crew!

[Cubs]

Yeah, it's something that stuck with me from when I first red it. I imagined the Haradrim from that time as Pauline Baynes characters with painted Red Cheeks.

Those pics aren't Haradrim, they're a Calormene from the Narnia books!

Brilliant, Captain B.!
