Crusades- Muslim Army & Crusaders added 21/11

[Phil Portway]

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.
