The Malicious Monocle

Today was spent at the Games Workshop store on Layton Ave. I participated in a large battle using my new Mûmak and Harad army. The scenario was that a group of four Mûmakil and warriors were marching through an unsettled area on their way to the big final battle at Gondor and were ambushed by the side of good. There were Dúnedain, Elves from Rivendell and representatives of the Army of Dead. I went a bit crazy with the camera on my phone so here are all of my pictures of the battle.

My Mûmak is the one with the purple on the howdah. I’m not done painting it by a long shot, but I at least had a enough painted to look respectable on the table.

Who won?

Evil, of course.

Soon my happy fun-time will end and I will start my student teaching. Am I spending my time practicing lesson plans? Am I reading about performance assessments?

No.

I’m working on my Mûmak.

Here are some work in progress photos of my Mûmak.

The paint job is mostly a series of drybrushing so far. The base especially has a lot of work left to do on it. Next up is to finish the toenails and then start in on the tusks. After the Mûmak is finished, I’ll start work on the howdah, alternating with work on the base as the whim takes me.
