Title: Crusades- Muslim Army & Crusaders added 21/11
Post by: Phil Portway on November 15, 2020, 10:25:58 AM
The crusades had always been a fascination of mine and back in 2014, I  decided to build a Crusader and a Saracen army.
The project took three  year to complete painting over 1100 figures, 300 horses and all the bits  and bobs that go with them. I would like to say they are finished.......but just found some more Cavalry in my lead mountain!
First off, the Muslim Army all based for Sword & Spear, but can be used for other rules.

The project took three year to complete painting over 1100 figures, 300 horses and all the bits and bobs that go with them.

Yep, excellent figure. Here's mine getting an arrow in the eye fighting the French at Waterloo.
