Very nice! I'm just at the moment doing something similar, only in 15mm, so your fabulous figures are an inspiration. May I ask were you got the flag of the Hasham cavalry? I found it quite hard to find information on Almoravid flags…
Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks four your comments.

I made it myself, its based on the ones used in the film El Cid, so I can't vouch for the historical accuracy

I believe it is supposed to represent a twin tailed comet.

I can send you the file and you can shrink it to 15mm.

Cheers

More wonderful paintjobs.

Where are the Moors from, as I think that I have just found my Haradrim that I have been seeking?

Artizan Designs, I think they would be good as Haradrim, in black and red.

Thank you, bob.
I thought that they may have been.
It is always easier to ask than go and look myself.
 ;) :D
