I spotted these today - they are not released yet but look extremely well sculpted and suitable for Middle-earth duties as supplemental forces for Rohan, maybe Arnor/Esgaroth and so forth, with the Sudanese standing in for some of the Harad tribes. There are not many images yet, so a revisit in a few weeks might be in order.

This link takes you to the Goths page - you can find the images by clicking on each pack type: http://www.musketeer-miniatures.com/sto ... ical&id=53

This link is the equivalent for Sudanese and other Caliphate forces: http://www.musketeer-miniatures.com/sto ... ical&id=23

They also do some very tasty Saxons: http://www.musketeer-miniatures.com/sto ... ical&id=35

Have fun!

looks good, although it might take a little bit of converting to make them fit in? atleast for most of the harad equivlents.
Other then that it looks like a good supplement to spice up your army.

Very nice find.
If I ever get to do my Helms Deep, these will fit in perfectly and add some variation as I do tend to go large scale with these dioramas - my guess is I would need about 500 figures !!!

@GreenDragonInn
My Harad notion was that these would be guys from regions other than those highlighted in the film, but still at war with Gondor and likely to be present at the Pelennor Fields. The armour and more irregular appearance suggested that these are raiders, using plundered items as well as their native attire.
I like the sculpts just for what they are - very neat little figures.
