Islamic Reinforcements for Outremer: Faith and Blood

[Legiocustodes]

Well I have been working at a back-breaking pace to produce some new fighters for my play-testing of Outremer: Faith and Blood

This week I have been focusing on additional Muslim fighters for my Saracen Warband:


Firstly I decided to give the force some mounted support in the form of an camel rider equipped with sword and shield:



I then painted three more melee focused infantry models in light armour (Saracen fighters get bonuses when using light armour in the game):







And finally I decided to bulk out the forces ranged firepower in the form of two arab crossbowmen, the crossbow is a suitably terrifying weapon in the game so these should be a welcome addition to the force!



There are loads more photo and more details on my blog:

I like these.   

Which manufacturer?

[Legiocustodes]

Cheers mate.

The Infantry are all Black Tree Miniatures, I have only just discovered these guys, but they are great!! The camel rider is either Crusader Minis or Gripping Beast I think.

That's really nice!  Purple is a good color.

[Legiocustodes]

Thanks mate! I have to say I really like the way the purple has come out on these guys!

[FierceKitty]

Had purple become affordable since the ancient world?

Camelry??

[Legiocustodes]

Possibly.... but you know what isn't affordable; the amount of purple paint it took me to achieve all those layers on the robes!

Had purple become affordable since the ancient world?

Not until Victorian times as far as I'm aware. I guess these guys mugged an emperor and stole all his clothes.


That aside, lovely painting!

Cheers guys!

Yeah these are a very successful Warband so lots of good to spend on  dye! Lol

I love that deep purple, works well on the flowing robes.

[Legiocustodes]

Cheers mate! I'm pleased with depth and richness of it!

[Exiledadmiral]

Really nice work on these, absolutely love the purple and the gradual gradient on the robes. Could I ask what your recipe is for the colour?

[Belgian]

Very nice and crisp painting, like them all!

Camelry??

Does it matter FFS! Purple is a great colour to use. They look great.

What is your beef about camels?
