Title: Advice on camel riding, spear or sword wielding Arabian warriors
Post by: pancakeonions on 25 July 2015, 05:21:10 PM

I've just picked up Saga, Cross & Crescent, and really enjoy it.  Modeling and painting is half the fun (OK, let's be honest, 95% of the fun - I rarely get to play!).  I have the Gripping Beast metal camel riders, the camel riding warlord, and I've picked up a pack of Warlord's Early Imperial Romans: Camel riders.  That last pack is fantastic with one problem: it only comes with three dudes, and you need four to make a unit in Saga.

Does anyone know of someone who sells a single camel rider who might match up OK with the Warlord Camel Riders (http://us-store.warlordgames.com/products/early-imperial-romans-camel-rider-unit)?   Thanks in advance.

Black Tree Designs do Camels too, but again these are in packs of 3

Perry do this group; you might get some use out of the non-camel models:

Try Essex Mediaeval Arab range - do a number of camel mounted warriors and you can order 1 at a time:

They also have Camel mounted troops in the their Ancients ranges.

Magister Militum have some.

 The Problem with them is, that they have normal horse riders on top of those figures. As human riders do not normally ride a camel horse-style, this looks a little awkward.

I still bought some at tactica and they came out well assembled and painted.

Still have to post some pictures...
