MS468 - Mithril Gold Status figure 'Haradrian
Champion on Warcamel' (primed).
This is May 2007's
Winning idea. It was suggested by Harald Wolf.
Brief History:
The Haradrim were a fierce
warrior people who lived in the hot desert areas of Southern
Middle-earth. They were the perennial foes of Gondor and the
land of Harondor; their common frontier was a scene of almost
continual strife. They were ready allies of the Dark Lord
in the war of the Ring and contributed much of his most effective
forces.
The Haradrim would have deployed
several kinds of camel mounted units, both light skirmishers
and medium cavalry; The Haradan champion is one of the latter.
He is clad in chain mail and is scimitar armed. His clothing
would be of rich colours notably reds, yellows and purple.
His opponent is one of Gondor's
desert auxiliaries, drawn from the population of Southern
Gondor and armed as a local defense force against their Southern
neighbours. His shield bears the usual seven stars of Gondor
but with a central palm-tree motif. His clothing would be
of dull unbleached linen or wool and his ubiquitous Gondorian
helmet of dull grey metal.
Dimensions:
Haradrian Champion on Warcamel measures 65mm x 70mm width
/ height approximately. Spearman Defending measures 50mm x
36mm width / height approximately.
This figure is blister packed
and primed in Mithril's special undercoat.
