Caliphate Infantry

Armored infantry and command from Musketeer Miniatures.  They're for commission and the customer is doing his own weapons and shields.  More pictures on my blog.

Great colours and very nice to admire,well done.
The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

Really nice work
I have some as well and agree that they are lovely figures to paint and mix well with some other manufacturers stuff

Spectacular work, killshot. Any hints on the skin colour. That is spot on for my taste.

Thanks!  I used all vallejo paints and for the skin I started with mahogany brown (model color), added dwarf flesh (game color), and then added elf flesh (game color) for highlights.

Lovely painting!

If I ever get around to re-starting my El Cid project, I'll definitely get some of these to boost my Almoravid forces  :D

Interesting. Sounds relatively simple and looks very effective. Could be just right for my colonial Egyptians too  ;D

Very nice work. One quick question. Does anyone know how these would scale up against the Eureka or BTD versions or against Copplestones' GLory of the Sun range? I'm tempted to buy some for my Tangier project.
