Need Some Help Please

Swifts leave at the start of the football season, and returns after the FA cup

It hadn't occurred to me to place figure requests here.

Can the good readers recommend a model for an airborne flock of birds. 10 or 15mm.

Type not important, anything between crows and vultures would do.
There are unconfirmed suggestions that the originals may have been swallows, but they're a bit small.

Looking to model this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ababil_(mythology)

Splintered Light do a very nice flock of Crows. They are a US manufacturer but there is a nice chap in France who is their European agent.
Get your order in before 31st Oct as we wont be European after then (ooops! wash my mouth out & hide in a cupboard)

I have to admit, I thought they were the same.

What's the difference, chaps ?

No idea. It's a Monty Python/Holy Grail reference.

Yes, I agree - Splintered Light is he best source. They are 15 MM, and each bird is cast separate, and sort of flat so you have to bend the wings to make them look right. I usually sort of roll the wings over a round dowel.

Many thanks, I already own that piece - it does good duty with my post-Roman games.

Mine are going into my Saruman Isenguard HoTT army to fight my Riders of Rohan.

I also use the Splintered Light Bat hordes as Recce units for my Orcs.
