Cracking work Chris

Next unit hot off the brush are Fanatic Warriors. In painting these warriors I decided to go with a serious and slightly sinister looking discipled  formation of warriors dedicated to crushing the infidels who invaded their holy land. They look much harder then their profile really is in the list, but hopefully they will intimate my opponent enough! 
As always thanks for viewing!

Nice, is this a move into 15mm and away from 28mm?

Thanks and not exactly. I've done 15mm as my alternative scale to 28mm for many years, but I will be doing more armies in this scale in the future as it's easier to complete then 28mm. Basically, I'll use 28mm for skirmish more and more and in regards to armies I'll be much more selective.
I have both 15mm and 28mm armies in the pipeline so expect to see both.

Makes perfect sense to me Christopher, infact having got rid of all mine I think if I were to ever dip my toe again I would go for 15mm as quicker and cheaper these days and would satisfy the itch that is wargaming

The spear armed units could also double up as Almoravid Black Guard spearmen if you wanted to expand into El Andalus.

Yes indeed the Moors Black Guard were an inspiration for this unit ......but, too bad these guys are not anywhere near as tough as them though!

A long return back to my Ayyubid army in the form of Ghulam lancers. The figures are still of course from the lovely Legio Heroica range and the banner is from the superb LBM. All shields were painted by myself.
Thanks for looking!

Absolutely stunning brushwork. I am painting 28mm (well old minifigs) arabic stuff up for saga atm and am blown away by how stunning yours look, especially for 15mm.

Does inspire me though as I will be working a 15mm  DBMM Spanish force at some point in the future and if I can get them to look half as good I will be a happy man.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Axebreaker... Damn you... You but all our 28mm armies to shame with those 15mm miniatures...



But on a more serius note, I actually use your pictures as inspiration for my army.

Excellent Christopher.

Love them all, but the fanatic warriors are my favourite... 'Turn out the Black Guard!'

 

[Axebreaker]

Thank you guys I appreciate your kind words of support.

@Captain Blood
Eventually the fanatic warriors will be the Fatamid guard when I expand the army.
