Oh, and these can be used for the Siculo-Normans as well. Good times

Arabs of the Arab Conquest, Abbasids, Aghlabids, Almohads, Almoravids, Fatimids, Hamdanids, Umayyads, Ayyubids just to name a few

Yes, quite multipurpose box. Even though like has been noted earlier, those spangen helms are not that Arab conquest like...
But with other plastic kits these will be useful for many periods.

I will mix these with Conquest Games Normans. And interested also about the idea of mixing few of them with Perry Ansar, hopefully we'll get to see how those match up.

Easily converted with plastics though

As noted above, they will indeed

They do look good. Supremely 'fit for purpose' if you ask me.

I agree, they look great!

Shield transfers have a wonderful, transformative effect

I agree, they look fine. Certainly no worse than many metal figures, and better than quite a few. Be interesting to see them in the flesh tomorrow.

Typical - I finish my Haradrim and someone brings out a range of plastics I could've used. They do have possibilities as Astapori or even Dornish levies though for my Game of Thrones themed armies - or I could just add another couple of Regts to my Haradrim....

I wish I could be there and hope Andy and Darren have a few boxes left post Salute!!

Thanks for the heads up Rotorcraft, I purchased 2 boxes at Salute and they look awesome in the flesh

I can see a multitude of options for these. Then again, I suffer from severe Compulsive Butterfly Disorder, and would buy each and every mini on sight, if I only had the means to do so...

These look great, I have to say.

Bought a box at Salute, and love them. They're already being kitbashed with my Fireforge infantry for my Corsairs of Umbar project. Pretty much 100% compatible with the Fireforge stuff (making my life oh, so much simpler!).

My one wish would have been that there was a sprue for a more armoured command group in there too. Still, can't have everything!

Does the box include transfers too?
