Absolutly fantastic range of painting. Thanks for showing them.

Thanks also for inspiring me to getting round to actually painting my very eclectic selection of arab figures for saga. Your works and lovely bright colours really gave me the impetus to get started.

Cheers john.

I am pleasantly surprised at the LOTR terrain pieces. They look superb.

They do look good... And being neutral stone, make a great contrast against the figures.
which have really nice colours that will 'pop' on the tabletop...
Nice looking army, well done

Big thanks guys.

Ducat, please show some of them later on.

Ive used the plastic Norman knight kit from Conquest Games as the base for my new unit of Arab heavy Cavalry.
The base miniatures are somewhat lifeless and boring but I think I managed to breath some more life into them.

Adding extra blankets, ww2 Sikh heads and greenstuff does make for some changes.

Thanks Circlechange

I needed some militias to be on the receiving end of a crusader charge, catching arrows and whats not.

Yesterday my friend Johan and I had a massive game of Hail Caesar (more on that later..) but as it was a long time since I had them all on the same table I thought it was only fitting to get some pictures of the army.

As the muslim rulers during the crusades thought more against each other then against the crusaders I think its only fitting that my friend Johan and I had this game.

We thought a great game of Hail Caesar using our joint miniatures and divided them into to forces opposing each other.

For the full battle report and lots and lots of picture go here: http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.se/2014/06/clash-of-warlords-medieval-middle.html

Another great game of Hail Caesar, the more I play it the more I like it.

A new unit of light cavalry.

The miniatures are from Magister Miliutum and is a mix of their historical and a fantasy range they carry.

Some of the riders I think looks okay, maybe even good but the horses are rather horrid. Especially some of them, some looks like small pony's.
But I think that now with the paint on them they at least looks better then when I cleaned up the miniatures from flashes.

Splendid

I batchpainted a whole unit to speed things up.

Maybe not the most fun way to paint miniatures but it does speed up the whole process.
The miniatures are from Magister Militum.

I think the horses looks a little to small for proper battle steeds so I will downgrade these from my initial plan of heavy cavalry to a medium cavalry roll and maybe give them some sort of levy or militia rule. They got some nice armour and weapons but are lacking training and proper horses to fill a heavy cavalry roll. At least thats the plan at the moment.

The horses may be more representative than at first thought. A lot of cavalry horses in past ages were considerably smaller than our modern tastes expect.

Great work Engel keep them coming!

Engel · « **Reply #88 on:** August 03, 2014, 11:32:33 PM »

Thanks.
Garanhir thats probably to true.

Heavy reinforcements in the form of a massive Mamluk unit...

Its a mixture of Perry, Gripping Beast and A&A miniatures.

So after a small pause with a gaming convention I have started gearing up with the crusade again.

My latest unit, a Saharan/Berber unit with spears.

Many more pictures at: http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.se/2014/09/saharanberber-spearmen-unit.html

They will join up with my Ayyabid and as they are somewhat toughter tribal warriors then your average citydwelling spearmen unit I will field them without the negeative special rules the standard spearmen get in a Hail Caesar Ayyabid force.
I can use the Fatamid armylist for corect stats I think.

The miniatures are a mixture of Gripping Beast plastic and metall arabs/morish troops, some really nice Magister Militum miniatures and some of Perrys Mahadist upprising plastic miniatures with bits swaped with the Gripping Beast plastics. I mixed the shields around to get a nice variation.
All shields are handpainted with brown as a joining colour to tie the unit further together.
