The gate to Amba Mariam, fortress of Tewodros II of Ethiopia!
The guards are still very WIP
This piece will be the Stronghold for my Hordes of the Things / Hordes of the Empire Ethiopian army.
The rules are quite restrictive on the size of Strongholds. I don't think the model conveys the magnificence of the real Amba Mariam, but I'm happy with it
Would anyone know where I could find reference material on Ethiopian cavalry? The Osprey book on 19th Century Ethiopia doesn't have many pictures. I'm using Eureka Miniatures' 15mm range, many of which are "Barded Cavalry". Very nice figures, but I can't find reference material on how they looked.
Thanks,
Misneach
