A unit of



http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.com/2021/02/seljul-turk-askari-heavy-cavalry.html

A unit of Sejuk Turkish Askari heavy cavalry with lances and bows.

This unit is a mixture. Its Gripping Beast plastic Arabic cavalry as a base bit with lots of Fireforge bits tossed into the mix, from their westerners knights, Russian and Mongol line. I tested giving some of the horses chainmail armour, its not perfect but its a nice start. Something I might experiment further with in the future.

I wanted them to have a rather muted and rugged feel. Adding lots of brown tones to gives them that campaigning look to them.

Really, really good. I am not a fan of Gripping Beast and Fireforge plastics, but you managed to make a very beautiful unit! Amazing!

Thanks.

Yeah, I agree. They leave a lot to wish for. But its hard to argue with the price of plastic. Or the weight. Its getting heavy to carry a full metal army around.

Besides, there are not that many good looking saracen miniatures in metal either.

The latest reinforcement

A Ayyubid Mamluk heavy cavalry archer unit.



Many more pictures @ http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.com/2021/03/ayyubid-heavy-cavalry-mamluks-with-bows.html

The miniatures are mostly Gripping Beast plastics a metal one and a Perry Miniature one in the mix.

Mixing in some metal miniatures in the unit really adds to the overall feel and variety of the unit.
