GB Plastic Arab Spearmen and Archers

[Mason]

I can see a multitude of options for these. Then again, I suffer from severe Compulsive Butterfly Disorder, and would buy each and every mini on sight, if I only had the means to do so...

Bought a box at Salute, and love them. They're already being kitbashed with my Fireforge infantry for my Corsairs of Umbar project. Pretty much 100% compatible with the Fireforge stuff (making my life oh, so much simpler!).

My one wish would have been that there was a sprue for a more armoured command group in there too. Still, can't have everything!

This is good news indeed.
Thank you for being the bearer of good tidings, sir.

Does the box include transfers too?

Transfers for the plastic Arabs here:

So, no. But LBM's are great transfers and worth every penny IMHO.

Ah, thanks Atheling. I think I got some of their transfers for some Normans or crusaders possibly, havent used them though yet.

It would be nice if the manufacturers adapted the practice prevalent with plastic kits, and included the transfers too. Would save some bother and money for us 'end-users'. But I guess this would involve forming some alliances, making contracts etc. Might be too complicated and diffcult.

Well, the main thing is you can get the transfers anyways. They do look very nice, and give a focus to the minis. I wouldn't fancy free-handing a gadzillion of minis...

I like them, but if they're as stiff as previous boxes, I might wait until someone get's a box and tires of the monoposes

I painted the shields on my Crusader Normans..... took a bit of time!

I even am starting up a couple of scratchbuilding projects, tounament stuff for Crossed Lances, a small riff-raff castle with its hamlet,  and a barbarian/orc stronghold Jevenkah-style. The latter needs careful planning though, if everything is to fit together as nicely as hers...

I agree with the above. I don't find shield transfers all that valuable, and would prefer not to pay the extra for them.

Also, the think I really like about these plastics - and other GB plastics that I've used - is that they don't over do the folds in the clothes. They kept it a lot like the nice flat surfaces on the best historical figs from Crusader/Foundry/Artizan/etc.

I've assembled a few and I'm really looking forward to painting them!

Thanks
