Almoravids for Impetus

[Clearco]

I have started an army of almoravids for Impetus, using the lovely minis from Legio Heroica.

Iīve always had a fascination towards these veiled warriors of the desert (Maybe the parades of "Moros y cristianos" that I always watched as child when I was on the coast region are the cause of this...and the book about El Cid that I have always read at my grandmaīs home  ) so what was intended to be a little DBA army has evolved in a bigger Impetus one...

Here the first 3 units of S:





These are my seconds 15mm ever, and on the other ones I used "betuneado" (itīs like dipping) because I was afraid of the tiny size of the fellas. Therefore Iīm glad I managed to paint these "normally", since I donīt like dipping that much

Very nice Clearco. I thought they were 28mm with your paint job! I particularly like the clothing work.

Thanks for the comments!

Today, the black guard:







The photos are rather dark so the highlights on the black robes are not so easy to see as on the flesh

The officer is a conversion: I made a sword out of a spear (hammering and hammering ) and made a helm for him.

  Lovely!!
Where did you get the flag?

[Clearco]

Thanks! The flag and the shield transfers are from LBM 

[Suber]

Can't find the words, they're impressive

[Clearco]

Thanks, Suber! I hope I manage to paint another spearmen unit for next week.
