I have absolutely no use for 28mm Persians, but at $3 for 12 miniatures, I literally could not resist. I just placed an order with some square bases.

I got the horses off ebay. Here is the link to the auction.

*Edit*

Jamros, I know what you mean. They are just soooo cheap, you can't help but get some.

I did some more work today. I've got the assembly line down, I work on filing and hacking away at guys until my fingers get sore from holding the guy's torso, and then I switch off and sculpt one side of the cloth extension. Here's a picture of the wip cloth extensions guys, and a picture of the first 'complete' guy. I will probably add a back-banner to get that classic khand look yet, so he isn't 100% done.

Also, one quick question for those of you who have used liquid green stuff; would it be good for gap filling on horses? It's really fiddly to fill those thin cracks in between the halves with normal procreate, and so I thought that liquid GS might be the best thing.....Also, as the WF guys are multipart, would liquid GS be good for filling in around the warriors arms/heads after I attach them?

Pictures.....

A quick update. Finished off two more guys. Five-ish more to come, hopefully soon. :wink:

looking great! the horses look small tough, but i find it really cool! How great wouldn't that be an army of pony riders!

More like shetland ponies. Sorry, project looks cool and i look forward to the end result.

theavenger001 · **Posted:** Thu Nov 08, 2012 10:02 pm

They're not ponies! :-X

In all seriousness though, they do look a little small in that picture. However, I lined them up against a haradrim raider, and the horse, (and rider) are exactly the same size. So.... :roll:

hmm i feel like it's the proportions of the riders that make it seem like it. I just watched the head of one of my rohirim near that one of his horse. His head is alot smaller.
Don't feel sad tough, u did great work and i think they look awesome. Didn't mean to insult u

(My favourite one is the first one from the left

).

The persian figures are bigger and make the horses look small.

I'm loving this project! Oh god give us more!

I got tired of cutting and filing and sculpting, so I went back to painting!

This is the same batch of guys that I was working on earlier. Only a couple more cloth colours to do, and then all the little bits and bobs, as well as their weapons...(Only a couple of quick (bad) group shots for now, I'll get some better ones once they're finished)

garmenhord · **Posted:** Thu Nov 15, 2012 10:49 pm

i think i said it b4, but i just like those colours ur using!

Love your paint scheme. The heads on the wargames factory guys are just too big for me to buy. Now if I can just find a pile of in scale heads...

theavenger001 · **Posted:** Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:15 pm

And the haradrim are done. Group shot of all my finished foot warriors.

Archers front and back:

Spearmen front and back:

I really like the jewel that I got on this guy's turban; it's the best one I've done so far, imo. DMS's guide really helped, until now I wasn't highlighting up to white on the bottom edge, I was just putting in the white dot. That last white highlight on the bottom helps balance the whole thing out, and makes it actually look 3-d.

garmenhord · **Posted:** Fri Nov 23, 2012 11:09 pm

Really loving ur colours! Nice touch on that gem.

John Wayne · **Posted:** Sat Nov 24, 2012 7:29 pm

Awesome harad men mate. I had been waiting ages to see these finished. Safe to say they are fab, love the dark skin tones and contrasting bright robes

kidterminal · **Posted:** Sun Nov 25, 2012 8:02 am

The gem and the face are fantastic!

PowerofWill · **Posted:** Sun Nov 25, 2012 8:05 pm

Great job! The gems are very well done :yay:

A quick update. I didn't have any motivation to continue on my scratch sculpt of suladan (I think I bit off a bit too much....), so I decided to convert one of my many persian figures instead. I had to cut away the tabard/skirt thing, and then I've sculpted on a couple of grieves. I also did some more work on his swords. (there's two as I'm hoping to make a foot and mounted version)

I will add a couple of straps to hold the grieves on, and also put a gem on the pommel of the second sword.
