Muslim / islamic banners

[jchaos79]

How about some banners/transfers/flags to use with arab / turk or islamic armies?

The use to be sooo complicated to paint and have a nice effect. Any interest? (Nevertheless I need the for my builiding army)

Some cool looking flags there.  We'll be adding to the Flags as soon as I get chance, it's something I've got on my To-Do list.  If anyone has any they've done themselves that they would like to contribute, feel free!

Thank you Sandinista, I am quite lack of ideas for banners and when I try to search... I found some very difficult to paint myself. I will try your banner!

Now if only we had some Ottoman dressed Rats to go fight against the League of Ratsberg minis . . . .hmmmm

There is quite a difference between Ottoman Turks and Ummyad Arabs, however. There is plenty of info on different Muslim/Islamic (btw, what's the difference?) flags, so you don't have to compromise on this one. Check out the MAA books on early Arab armies if you're interested in the early stuff, and bear in mind that the crescent moon wasn't an Islamic symbl in those days.

I use warflag all the time - cant see the point in paying for something I dont have to when there's piles of lead I still want to 'invest' in.

I use Little Big Men Studios 15mm Islamic banners for my 10mm armies and am very pleased with the result.

However I don't know enough to diferentiate between the various army banner styles.

Those Little Big Man banners look very nice. But aren't those more suited to an eastern Arab force than to an Ottoman army?
From what I figured out so far the Ottomans used a bit simpler flags, mostly with crescent moon and/or star designs.

A few to go on with....

I like the Turks rather more since they won a five-player eastern Europe campaign for me a while ago (well, it was a draw really; Turks and Swedes won).
