Civilians are great! They look very fresh, as I'm tired of all this millitary.
Thanks, Feanor!

Thanks guys. :)
I'm still wondering on how to get the civilians in a scenario. Obviously it'd be a raid on a Harad village by Gondorians, but as I don't have any Harad terrain, I can't really play a scenario.. Maybe I could better buy some "Gondorian" (medieval) civilians: then I can play a Harad/Corsair raid.

I'm currently working on another 24 Corsairs (the 8 archer are nearly done). If they're finished, I'll have 50 Corsairs: 2 boxes of Warriors and a Command set. All the spearmen also have shields (eBob's round shields, perfect for the job). The army is precisely 500 points, has the maximum number of models and the maximum number of archers!
I'll take that army to the next tournament of my local IR. Wondering how it will do, I think it sounds decent. :)

How about a mix of those peasants and 'pilgrims' (fairly sure the Perrys do pilgrims as the Crusaders' version of civillians in their range) to represent refugees fleeing a raid buy Hardrim bandits and getting rescued by a patrole from a Gondorian outpost on the Harad boarder?

Out of curiosity, how well do they scale up with most of the LOTR range?

Yeah, something like that would be possible, though I'd then have to buy some good models first.
I'm thinking more of a raid on a Harad caravan with civilians and some protectors (Warriors and Raiders as reinforcements). They'd be attacked by some Knight of Gondor (KoMT or SKoDA).
Something like that would be cool, although I only have 5 civilians. That might be a bit strange. Oh well.. I'll see.

@ Eldarion Telcontar: I think those are the ones. I'm not very sure if they'll be very suitable for Gondorian civilians. The unarmed pelgrims could do, they look like travellers. The armed pilgrims could be bandits.

They are perfect. I'll send a picture of a size comparision tomorrow.

Peasants are cool. Got a slew of them to still do for Rohan from the Reaper Miniature townsfolk line. just adds tremendous character to a scene or battlefield display. I think with your dark skin color yopu should use a less vibrant eye color, but it may also just be the camera, whites tend to stand out bright. but they all look good and the project is great.

Thanks.
The white doesn't look that bad in real life. The skin also looks slightly lighter than on the picture. The eyes on that Prince are fairly large though.
Other than that, the scale is perfect.
I'll post a picture asap. I couldn't take a good one as it's already dark here.

I'll also post pictures of my Corsairs (incl the WIP ones), of other Haradrim and of my Map of Harad to make it complete. :)
