The Haradrim raiders are almost finished. I worked on some faces last night and have only some arm bands, webbings, washing and highlighting to go.
So on to the pictures are per usual. There are 12 riders in all here.
Plus Suladan in both mounted and foot models.

These are archers of Minis Tirith on their way to being Citadel Gaurd.
First up this guy isn’t exactly finished.
The cape needs to come around his neck more and across his chest.
The eye openings a re wrong shape but I am not changing these as i will no doubt damage the eyes.
there is a pattern to be added to the nose protector.
The tab-bard is extended but quite roughly.. the paint job will hide a billion sculpting sins here.
The cape is very thin and has been bulked out in the small of the back. This is visible from the sides.. but I don’t care.
Ultimately these Citadel Guard give me the 3+ archery skill needed with long bows as opposed to just a bow. These boys are sharp shooters and aren’t needed for volley fire.. which hits on 6’s instead of 3’s
Repairing a lost sword is hard if you don’t have the missing plastic blade.. otherwise you just glue it back on.
Here is how to do it the proper way.
I will post later with a better picture of the completed blade. I was considering a war axe or mace.. but they weren’t issued in the movie.. but in LOTRSBG a hand weapon is a hand weapon.. so I could issue him a dagger and it would be just as effective.
The finished sword is narrower than this stage shown.
I hope you like this short article.
