Azerbaijani swordsmen

Here we have a unit of Azerbaijani swordsmen.

The miniatures are a mixture of Perrys Swordsmen https://www.perry-miniatures.com/product_info.php?cPath=23_33_53&products_id=2122&osCsid=pft87vrqtn8ue4n53opvn2auu3
and converted plastic miniatures, mostly Warlord Games Celts and with some part from Perry miniatures Mahadists and Fireforge Games Steppe Warriors.


I really dont know that much about the Azerbaijani swordsmen but have chosen to represent them as a warband and will use the rules for Ghazi fanatics found in many of the middle eastern armies.
To represent a warband I went with double depth of bases but I only have 3 miniatures per 40x40mm base to keep the numbers to paint down somewhat and to get a more dispersed and non cohesion look in the unit.










Some a newly painted but some are rebased from previously painted miniatures.
