Hi, guys !

It's been quite a while, since my last "release".
I'm a proud dad, of an adorable son, since nine weeks, so....priorities shifted a liiiitle bit. ;-)

That's why I will try to finish some last projects (ten figures or so...) to reduce my inventory of base-figures, spare parts and fodder, before the colors dry out, hopefully.
Let's see, if I can come up with some decent figures, by using that material only....

No matter if it's in the club; at a concert, or on the pelennor battlefield...
nothing worse, than the beat drops out ! ;-)
Since I'm a drummer myself, I wanted to enforce my mordorian army by an orc drummer.

Professional honor demanded to create a decent drum, that actually works, not just looks orcish-cool. So the real leather-head get's it's tension by the hoop, which is tightend by the cords. So it makes a sound actually...surprisingly not not an intimidating battle-drum-sound, haha !

So, here's Kershhâg, the battle-drummer

Recipe :
Base : Toybiz Dungeons of Isengard Orc captain.
Head : sculpted over a Gothmog-head; specials : Tattoo over left eye and visible muscles/sinews due to a cheek-injury.
Shin-/Hip-Armor and chain-loincloth from Gothmog, too.
Body-armor: repainted battle troll shoulder armor.
Right shoulder-pad : repainted from a McFarlane viking age berserker
Repainted Fur-stola from Grishnak

Drum-shell: Menthos-box (cut out tooth-segments and sculpted an uneven surface and the middle beading.
Drum head : real, super-thin leather.
Drum-Stick (Bone) Fodder, extended it's length with sculpy.
Banner : Black linen; Logo : painted with white permanent marker and red citadel color.
Banner-poles : Woodsticks (the right one is additionally attached to the fur stola (with a brass-ring)
Belt/straps : fake leather
Back-skirt : Haradrim archer

I used Citadel colors

I hope you enjoy this fat backbeat-buddy, as much as I do.

Greetings from Bavaria, Germany !
