Crusade: Lion Rampant game

[Engel]

I have now taken the plunge to start to collect the Crusade in 28mm.
The plan was to try to reuse one or two of my African tribal unit as a sort of mercenary light skirmishing unit for an Egyptian faction. And the Medieval Swedes I painted previously is planned to be recycled into a western force.
Its great to be able to use one miniature for lots of different settings.

But my first new and dedicated unit for this project is this small unit of Saracen light infantry.



Ive used leftover parts from the Perrys plastic box Mahdist Ansar. The miniatures with most clothing or Arabic headgear and so on that I didn´t think matched what I was after in the Tribal Africa project.

I think they maybe look a little more like Barbary corsairs then Saracen infantry but I think its close enough and its hard to argue with the price of plastics especially considering I got these from the leftovers.

I think they will do for starting up this project.

Yeah, they work fine 

[Engel]

Thanks Janners.


I just finished this small Latin/Frankish infantry group.
They are intended to be used as a small group of mixed medium infantry and act as opponents for my coming Saracen force.
I added some other makers and bits but it’s mostly bits from Fireforge games. These are my first Fireforge games miniatures and I must say I like them.

These two are converted Gripping Beast plastic "Dark age warriors"
I wanted to test how they would turn out, I imagined it could be done.

Excellent painting.  They would also make a great start to a SAGA Crusades warband.

Nice kitbashing, i'm tempted to do something similar!

[Engel]

Thanks


I found these at a sale and thought they could fit into this project.

Nice work on the ruins, they look excellent.

Nicely done

Great idea with the random shaped bases that also fit together; I might steal that idea

I have to second that. Brilliant idea with the bases. Those LOTR ruins work surprisingly well with historicals
