Seljuk Turk Askari Heavy Cavalry

 Seljuk Turk Askari Heavy Cavalry armed with lances and bows.

Here we have my latest unit. A unit of Seljuk Turk Askari heavy cavalry equipped with lances and bows.

The miniatures are a real mixture. But they are mostly Gripping Beast plastic heavy arabic cavalry but with bits from all over the place. Amongst many there are bits from Fireforge Knights, their Russians and some bits from their Mongol line.

I experimented with some chainmail armour in some of the horses. 

All in all it create a really unique unit.

And some more pictures taken inside, its always hard to get good light indoors I think and the pictures never get as good as real sunlight.

Beduin light cavalry

 More light cavalry for my Saracen force...

This time its a Beduin unit. I went with a little lighter tones then the Sudanes and added more red. The theme was white, red and light blue.

The miniatures are a mixture of Old Glory metal miniatures with new spears ( I hate bendy metal spears that always bends or snap...), the new spears and the miniatures the unit is mixed with is Gripping Beast plastic light cavalry.
The horses didnt match that good but I hope it will not be to apparent on the table top later on. The sizes of the horses are really notable unfortunately but the rider not so much.
The Old Glory miniatures are really funny and full of character, they are noted as 25mm on their American site and it is unfortunately. Had they been a little larger I would have bought lots more of them. 

Sudanese light cavalry

Here we have another Sudanese unit. You can never have enough light cavalry...

I really like the blue-brown tones that I went for with the Sudanese forces and this unit is no exception.


The miniatures are from Gripping Beast with new shields and some work on their heads. Those little things makes the miniatures a lot different.
