Once again confirming to myself how slowly I paint, I can't remember when I started this army, it was definitely last year, possibly even the year before...
However, I've finally completed my (relatively small) 15mm Timurid Army. Khurasan Miniatures figures, which I have mentioned on other posts I'm a big fan of. In this range the Afghan javelinmen and archers, and the horse archers, in particular were great to paint. Having break-waist figures for the horse archers is also terrific in the amount of variation it offers.
I'm not sure my photography has done much to show the figures off - either for themselves or my painting, as I'm actually rather pleased with how they all came out, but taking pictures with my phone in reasonably poor light probably not the best move.
With apologies for the giant pictures, I can't work out how to make them smaller lol

There are some other units - Armoured Timurid archers, Tadjiks and some allied generic Mongol archers I added too, but that is probably enough giant photographs...
Based on 40mm square bases, I'm of half a mind to try them with Art de la Guerre, or put two bases together and used them as units with 80mm frontage for To The Strongest.
Opposition I've not quite decided on, I have been thinking about Delhi Sultanate if I can assemble enough suitable figures, or potentially Mamluks for the Timurid moves on Syria and Damascus. Ottomans are an option but the next army to paint for me is Ottoman C16th for my Irregular Wars collection.
Despite the slow, slow progress on painting and the army being pretty much a whim because I liked the look of the figures, definitely a good project to have done.
Of course, now I'm thinking I really need some more horse archers, another couple of elephants, and some generic infantry too, got enough archers so I need to find some suitable other infantry with spears or suchlike, so this army is likely to grow. Slowly.
