TAKING HARAD ALLIED CONTINGENTS FOR YOUR ARMY
The various army lists presented within the Harad Sourcebook offer an excellent opportunity to add some powerful allies to your existing Evil armies. If you've been on the fence about whether or not to add some muscle from the Southeastern realms of Middle-earth, now's the time. Besides, there are plenty of lovely new models that you're gonna want to paint! Shown throughout these pages are several compact, purpose-driven, 100-250 point ally lists that you could slot into your current Evil army for some additional power. The abilities of the Harad are many, and Evil armies that can ally with them only stand to benefit from these strengths.

On the simplest level, you could opt to take a single Harad Hero as an ally and leave it at that. Hiring a mercenary Mahûd Tribemaster or King will add a devastatingly powerful Hero to your force - not to mention the extra boost that named characters like Suladân and Dalamyr can bring to the table. Another Hero that many Evil forces (those that can ally with The Serpent Horde, Harad, and Umbar) can take on as an ally but often overlook is a Hâsharin. For a single model, he might seem a bit pricey at 90 points, but he's worth every one of them. This sneaky fella has 3 Attacks, can't be Trapped, wields poison blades, and has the benefits of an Elven cloak. You could mix a Hâsharin in with a few Morgul Stalkers for a very nasty group of models that can't really be targeted by ranged weapons.
Beyond taking a single Hero, there's the option of taking small contingents of models. Each contingent will generally focus on one aspect of combat — be it shooting, cavalry, or just plain cheap troops. This way, you can compensate for a particular weakness within your army by adding such a themed contingent. The examples shown below are but the tip of the iceberg. There are so many ways to utilize the Harad as an ally that you'll surely come up with a few combinations of your own.
