I bring thee progress of Golasgils Household Guard and the Lord Golasgil himself, armour painted Boltgun Metal, Mithril Silver, Black Ink wash and a final Mithril Silver highlight. Also started on the colours too, Enchanted Blue mixed with a small amount Scorched Brown to keep it looking fairly dull as can be seen in the pics. The shields will remain this colour but the cloth will have an highlight or two.
The blues represent the connection with the sea, after all the Langstrand is a stretch of coastland, and I will be working in some sandy coloured cloth, perhaps one of garments as oppose to a large area like the cloak. The cloak will almost certainly be a warm Brown colour with White fur for the Golasgil Miniature.
Also been working on the Men at Arms which are fairly easy to paint given 95% of the model is covered in armour.
Also a quick mention for my Wardens of Pelargir. Since another poster came up with the idea of a largely Red uniform I couldn't get it out my head, and nearly abandoned all my concept work and banners in favour of it. The final colours I've posted above. The 8 Wardens which are infact Numenorean spearmen have had a bit of Greenstuff applied to their leather armour to smoothen out the cloth (I didn't like the raised trim). Minor work but it means I can go for a block colour now or perhaps a pattern if I'm feeling up to it.
Finally, I've been busy with the scenarios and their participants and while there is the option to take Suladan and Dalamyr there aren't any other named heroes. So I've decided to come up with a cross-breed and given it some special rules to boot! The model is the old Suladan version with a Greenstuff helmet conversion. Let me know if you think the points value is appropriate. The latter part of his name is of Middle Eastern origin I believe.
Malek-Dhow - 110 pointsDescended from Black Numenorean blood and raised in Umbar, Malek-Dhow's name has grown to be feared along the coastal towns of Gondor. Taught from an early age by the Hasharii, Malek-Dhow is an experienced fighter. One of Saurons deadliest servants, the Knight of Umbar recognised his worth and quickly manipulated the mind and will of the the young man to further corrupt his views of their common enemy. Bitter and twisted, Malek-Dhow now commands one of fleets of Umbar, raiding and plundering the fair lands of Gondor, killing all who oppose his will!
WargearMalek-Dhow is a Corsair Commander, he wears armour, carries a Schimitar smeared in a coat of sticky poison and also conceals a number of throwing daggers.

Special RulesThe Bane of Kings. Each time Malek-Dhow strikes a model, but fails to wound, he must re-roll the D6
Corrupted by Evil. The mind and will of Malek-Dhow has been twisted to such an extent that he now pours all his efforts into destroying the lands of his enemy. At the beginning of the Fight phase (before Heroic Combats are resolved) Malek-Dhow may expend a single point of Will to increase his Fight Value by one for the remainder of the turn. He may only expend a single point of Will in this way each turn.
Faceless Mask. Malek-Dhow hides a hideous past, many know of the brutal treatment he suffered at the hands of the Nazgul. The mask he now bares causes Terror.
