Harradrim are approaching! :)

Nik, you could use your Saladin army and just add some mammoths...  ;)


Just got to interject that I think mammoth are probably not really suitable for the Haradrim - a hot climate army - what with the fur coats and everything! [See signature! ;)]

Probably better to look at the new Carthaginian elephants or go for 15mm ones if you're wedded to the idea of them being super-sized. My personal opinion is that they are just regular war elephants given a fancy name. They're also referred to as oliphants and the old MERP game didn't make then anything unusual IIRC.

Your Middle Earth may vary ;)

Oho - now that's not a bad idea at all Arsenus....hmm... :-\ 8)

Of course it's a good idea! :)

I wanted to use arab for Harad since i saw your army! :)

@ Luddite:
Damn, i'm an elf... :D

@O Dinas Powys: I know but i love the mammoth and the Carthaginian elephants are too small for me! :D And I have thinked to build some extra stuff for the howda! :)

Damn you Arsenus, you just had to go and mention Hordes of the Things didn't you?

And double damn you Sue Barker, for releasing the rules as a free PDF.

And triple damn you 15mm.co.uk for having some nice ready made 24pt armies (at reasonable prices).

All in all I'm suckered back into 15mm fantasy, blegh, mutter, mutter, grumble, grumble.

Only kidding guys, this was one of my favourite rulesets back in the day, so I'm quite stoked up about ressurecting it, but this time around I dont think I'm going to be settling for 24 point armies on a 2ft square, I'm thinking more of 72pt armies of a 4ft x 2ft.

I think thats a cue for Leon and Dave to come up with the goods. We need a LARGE Elephant with 4 tusks and a weird shaped howdah, how about it Leon?

Just buy a 20mm one, and I'll send you a load of tusks to play with...!   :P

Mmmhh... If you have a lot of tusks half-baked, this could be interesting...   ;)

@GordonY: Thank for it but I still prefer the Pendraken one. :)

@Leon: I will see this when I will receive the mammoth and search a way to add tusks! :) Thanks!

I have received the beginning of my harad army.
I'm working to build a howdah. I will post a picture when finished.
