Siamese army commission

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

A friend has asked me to paint the lovely Khurisanian Early Siamese army.

I tried to make these first two batches as naturalistic and dull as possible, knowing that the Royal Guards and the elephants will be a LOT more colourful as the centre of attention for the army.

12 bases of skirmishing archers




Form double line!


Bases were an attempt at jungle...


24 bases of auxiliary types


It's quite a horde!


Bird's eye view


Like this one...

Excellent! Its nice to see a different era! The dual welding swordsmen look a frightening enemy!

[FierceKitty]

It's a respected martial art here; includes kicking too.

Nice, one of those rare instances when dual wielding is actually historically accurate!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Orcs - look away now!

Elephants are now done.

I replaced all spear shafts with pins for this lot. The originals were too flexible.

CinC, he is converted to wear armour, base built up and standard (the white xmas tree) built and added.
The important person drive the elephant in Thai armies.


I am really happy with him!




The tree is dismountable for storage.


Deforestation is a pain!


Elephant generals






Generals have two guard escorts


Four elephants






Three more






All seven 'normal' nellies




Heavily converted javelinmen, (shields removed, arms moved, scratch built arquibuses added)






Elephant wedge!


Tree really gets in the way!


Elephants are so bit they don't fit the lightbox!


Hope they're 'Sudyod' for you!
