Scratchbuilt Andalusians

[pbjunky1]

 With the mountain of plastic bits I have I decided to make some Andalusians for EL Cid WAB gaming, specifically the later period list. The bits came mostly from Conquest Mtd Norman Knights & Inf, GB Arab foot, GB Arab Heavy Cav, FF Sargeants, FF Tempar knights. I've a few more cav to do but the inf block is finished. Missing shields/shield arms will go on after I've done the painting as  they wore fancy patterned clothing & my attempts at rendering this will be more hopeless than usual with shields blocking access to torsos. arms etc.












I'll post up some more pix once they're painted.

Excellent start. Can't wait to see more.

Lovely conversions.
Very well done.

Inspirational. I will be stealing all those ideas shortly, particularly mixing the cavalry bodies with the infantry legs.

I look forward to seeing them painted....and then crushing them in battle!!

Awesome work. I also converted my Andalusians out of plastics,  mostly the Conquest Norman Knights and infantry as they are a 11th C. Taifa kingdom force.

Some very creative conversions here. I also like the mixing of legs and torsos. Some nice green stuff sculpting too. I particularly like the waist sashes. It is often quite tricky to render softer fabrics like silks. Well done sirrah! I look forward to seeing them painted.

I've had quite a lot of distractions so its going quite slowly but here are the first few painted, banners still to be sourced. The patterning on the cloth is a bit repetative but I've been experimenting with patterns so the next lot should add some variation.

They've come up very nice.

Cool!

Very interesting thread, you,re a dab hand with the green stuff, very effective conversations. I,d be tempted to use these for Lion Rampant .
