War Mumak of Harad

This in one of those impulse builds. I've a mind to do some of those iconic Lord of the Rings creatures without much plans to use them in games. The Mumak is one of those beasties, although painting one up turned out to be quite a big task. Well, I'm still happy I did this, as I got this one on the cheap. I had to strip it, it had parts missing etc. Turned out well in the end. The Mumak surpassed the Adeptus Titanicus Warlord for the position of the largest GW figure I've painted, but as for my yearly painting tally, there's a grumpy dwarf insisting it still only counts as one...

Grey as a mouse

Big as a house

Nose like a snake

I make the earth shake

As I tramp through the grass

Trees crack as I pass

With horns in my mouth

I walk in the South

Flapping big ears

Beyond count of years

I stump round and round

Never lie on the ground

Not even to die

Oliphaunt am I

Biggest of all

Huge, old, and tall

If ever you'd met me

You wouldn't forget me

If you never do

You won't think I'm true

But old Oliphaunt am I

And I never lie

I painted the Haradrim to match my Frostgrave summoner warband. Their colours match, but the scale difference is noticeable.

 

 

 

 

3D printed microarmor

 

Nothing fancy, just logging some T-34's I finished on the side. They're all 3D printed and turned out nice.

Throwback: Space Hulk 1st edition

I played a game of Space Hulk first edition today with the kids. I haven't aired the box in about 12 years, definitely not after I got third edition in 2009 so I took the opportunity to take some quick pics of figures I haven't featured on my blog yet. I think these were painted with the old Citadel inks predating the "devlan mud" era. It was a royal pain to paint black ink over white armor :)
