MS498 - Mithril Gold Status 'Dead Rider of Dunharrow' metal figures (primed).

This is January 2008's Winning idea. It was suggested by H. Wolf.

Brief History:
The Dead Men of Dunharrow (also referred as the Shadow Host, the Grey Host, the oathbreakers, or simply the Dead) were the shades of Men of the White Mountains (Ered Nimrais), who were cursed to remain in Middle-earth by Isildur after they abandoned their oath to aid him in the War of the Last Alliance. They were formerly known as the Men of the Mountains, and they were related to the Dunlendings.

In the War of the Ring in the late Third Age, Isildur's Heir and direct descendant, Aragorn, called upon the Dead to fulfil their oath at last. Summoning them to the stone of Erech, Aragorn commanded them to fulfil their oath and be free.

The Men of the Shadow Host appeared to be grey shades; some still rode ghostly horses, but all moved at the same speed. They bore swords and spears and banners, and answered a horn-call with their own horns. However, they did not need weapons for their chief weapon was fear.

Dimensions: Figure measures 49mm in height from botton of base to top of helmet.

This figure is blister packed and primed in Mithril's special undercoat.
