Nelly The Elephant - a Mumakil for Kings of War



I've recently begun work of putting together an army for Kings of War and have settled on a fantasy Arabian army as this can be dual use for Armati as opponents for the Crusaders. So this caused me to go back and complete my Harad Mumakil from Games Workshop. I got this for Christmas several years ago but never got further than undercoating it. Now complete it should be a fine centre-piece for the army.

Its a huge model by 28mm standards being fully 10" high, about a 12" long and boasting a crew of 13.

Despite the fact that KOW is looking to accommodate GW models and armies there is nt anything that directly maps onto the Mumakil. So a few options present themselves using Large Cavalry Hordes.

  1. Well that's a scary looking monster. Given the base size I reckon you would want to use that to represent a horde of large cavalry.

  2. A good though - the monster stats are nt very exciting

    1. Also monsters go on 50mm square bases so it would be rather over sized for that. A chariot Horde goes on a 150mm*200mm base so that may be the best fit. The kingdoms of men chariots also have a shooting stat for bow armed crew members.
