That's quite a collection and a significant painting mountain to have climbed. Well done Darrell 

Thanks Richard. It was a bit of an epic effort!

The thread reawakens with the addition of the first four new Abbasiya/Levantine Horse Archers.









Much more to come very soon!

A few pictures of the army arrayed as of 2023. I've got a few units that have not been photographed yet but will endeavour to get them all out on the tabletop this coming Thursday and take a few snaps of the whole army.

Nice work, love the figs. Also, the thread necromancy is quite impressive!

Thank you.

Sometimes painting an army can be a bit of a labour of love and can take a few years to finish (though the wise miniature painter knows they're never really complete). I prefer to take my time over my projects, sometimes popping from one to another, this might last a few months, maybe years. Surely the importance is the end result?

Thread was not dead, just resting..

Sometimes you have to wait, for reasons.

End result here is always worth seeing from your brush, excellent PJs as always and very nice additions to the army.

Its only 2025 its not been that long for a project update..

Thanks Tactalvanic. That's a very nice way of putting it

A few pictures of the army in action over last weekend- apologies there are so few. Photo's by Alex Barnes.

[Tactalvanic]

Both forces look superb.

Really trying not to get to far into historical as well, its not like I even have enough time for everything else. Damn you work, if only I did not need the money. 

Still, very nice.

What was the action, just getting them on the table or a particular battle/scenario?

Thanks. I'll pass on your goodly words for Mario and his Medieval Muslim Indian army too.

All is patience, ergo the length of this thread

It was part of a themed (Eastern European/Levantine armies) WAB event. A type of tournament though only a few players really treat it as so- it's much more a gathering of friends.
