Mark, They are a mix of Artizan Designs and Saxon Miniatures, now sold by Warlord which I bought in one of their sales lately.

To this will be added Gripping Beast, old Musketeer/Footsore (From the Caliphate range) as well as many other odds and ends.

Can't wait to get my camera back

Lovely work so far! I'm interested in starting with Medievals, and precisely in Reconquista, so I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread

Thanks. Sometimes I feel like I''m just starting out in Medievals too

I couldn't resist taking a few snaps with my new camera of the completed unit of Yusuf ibn Tashfin's Black Guard. They've been sitting ion the cabinet for a while now as hummed and harred over what camera to go for.

I currently ploughing through three more units of Almoravid and Andalusian troops and they should all be completed quite soon.

Here's a couple of pics- There are more on my blog here:

[James Morris]

Terrific job.  Like the castle wall - is this one resin?

[Atheling]

Thanks for everyone's kind words

It's that soft resin-ey stuff James. Slightly spungy. It's from Tablescape and part of their Middle Eastern/North African range. I originally bought them for the Indian Mutiny but I needed something to block out all my paints today and they were at hand  They're pre-painted, which I don't normally go in for but I think they've done a decent job so no modification needed. If anything I'd probably add them to a large base in sections of two or three bases then fill in the gaps between the single pieces with Milliput.

Good job there matey, they look really well.

 

[Atheling]

Well, someone's got to don't they.....

Quite right - up the workers!
Nicely done, all armies need more baggage and honest toilers in the field.

Actually, I need to find more baggage type mini's for both the Islamic and Christian forces so if you have any suggestions, please fire away
