Khwarizmians DBA IV/24
خوارزمشاهیان
Yeah thats right, Khwarizmians in
DBA IV/24
My gaming club (VÄS - Växjö
Spelförening) have chosen to game a DBA campaign and chosen Mongol terror as
the theme of it and this is the army I will play in it.
In the real world the Khwarazmian
Empire got soundly beaten by the Mongols but we will see if I can give them
some payback on a tabletop.
The miniatures are from Essex.
And they are surprisingly good, I really thought they would look like crap, how
wrong I was. Ok ok, they don’t match up to my Russians from Mirlitons but not
close behind.
I really thought that as Essex are one of the great old companies the sculpts would be all up to yesterdays standard but with bad moulds by now... I was totaly wrong, I really like them and am already considering my next army...

For painting I went with a kind
of “easter egg” theme, lots of bright colors. I wanted these to really stand
out on the battlefields in comparison with horse tribes brown and medieval Europe
brown armies…
The banners are from varies
pictures I found on the net, scaled down to fit my miniatures and then printed
on paper and then some extra colors from my brush.
On the elephant I added some
extra colors, inspired of Indian elephants of today used in celebrations and so
on.

My Khwarizmians will strike fear
in my opponents, or at least look good trying to do it.

Beja swordsmen
The Beja
swordsmen are from Perrys excellent plastic box and as I have miniatures still
on the sprue from that box I thought they could be that little brake I needed.
To paint something different, and what’s not to like about these “Fuzzu wuzzies”
and their distinct hairstyle.
