Outremer - a place to fight!

[has.been]

Judging by what you achieve, nothing wrong with a 'Butterfly' approach.
Very well done David, & keep on 'flitting'

Concentrating on a Hospitalier / pilgrim collection first.

I did however get the Mamluk Champion on foot and Forces of Islam Bannerman.

Good to know! Looking forward to seeing them painted

[Digits]

A bit to go for that…..but my pilgrims finally turned up.  I love the cart…a shame they have only released one though.   The pilgrims are nice minis and I may buy a pack of Perrys clergy to bolster their numbers.




I have made a start on the Hospitalliers……well, their horses anyway!

If you are after more pilgrims, Eureka Miniatures just announced a set based on the Canterbury Tales. Probably not exactly what you are after since many of them are on horseback, but it would add some variety.

[Digits]

I will check those out….thanks!

[Poiter50]

I think they are only just cutting the moulds now, so drop them a line to see when they will be available.

I will check those out….thanks!

[Digits]

Flitting about, I decided to paint the cart.   This is a project I want to get back to, and I like this piece.   I may do a few Hospitalliers next…..

[Ogrob]

Very nice!

[Basementboy]

Very cool! The cart looks great, and the guard is lovely as well. good to see this project returning!

[Digits]

Cheers both.   

The main reason I have decided to dust these off,  is that I have an impending trip to Malta on the horizon.   The Knights of St John hold a minor fascination and I hope to find out a bit more about them there.

I have also cleaned up nine crossbow men, and may get them out of the way too.

The chaps on the wagon look very natural- excellent work 

[Storm Wolf]

Looks very good and useful for lots of scenarios i especially like the guy riding shotgun, erm' crossbow beautiful 

[blacksoilbill]

I love that wagon.

[Little Odo]

Great looking diorama - the figures are perfect to depict part of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land

[Digits]

Thanks.  Yup it’s just a shame they only have the one wagon…I need to look about for a suitable second from elsewhere.   Maybe Perry?  It’s trying to find something that fits in that’s the issue….i may look at Gripping Beast too.

Meanwhile, I have just ordered some Islamic opposition and a couple of other minis.

Should have my mounted Hospitallers painted shortly….
