Well after last week's foray into the world of the Military Orders for my up-and-coming Crusade skirmish game Outremer: Faith and Blood I decided to spend this week finishing of my Saracen warband for the game.

I really enjoyed painting these models as they gave me an opportunity to practice my techniques for doing cloth and robes. I went for a predominantly purple and orange colour scheme in order to tie all the fighters together in some sort of coherent force.

Amazing, I was going through Islamic models producers today myself, maybe checking what can I purchase for Outremer

Cheers mate!! I'm very pleased to hear you're already thinking about a force for Outremer!

I have Islamic models from Perry, Essex, Gripping Beast and assorted others; I find them all very good and they go together very well!

Cheers Guys! I will indeed be using them as demo pieces in the book!

I will be going for Nizari Ismails, looking for some Fidais and ordinary warriors.
Any suggestions for models. I am little bit lost in translation between czech terms and english terms.

Sounds good!

Just go for a nice mix, an armoured warlord and a couple of retainers are always a good core. A few archers and some general infantry types will bulk out the force and then a few levy/conscript standard troops to bulk out the force. About 14 models will give you the variety you need.

Great work - good choice of colour I reckon.

Thanks Sabot; I was a bit wary at first as I wasn't sure if the Orange and purple would go together; however I'm really happy with how they look! Especially with the white!

Stunning! Love-love-love the purple.
