15mm Old Glory Arabs as Hafsids

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

In return for replumbing my house, I was asked to paint a Hafsid army for Adrian.

Hafsids? Who are Hafsids? They are an African Califate in modern Lybia and Tunisia. Adrian has picked a doozy here!

Figures from Old Glory/Timecast, transfers from Little Big Man Studios.

First seven units are all short spear, shieldwall and integral shooters.

Second unit

Third unit




Fourth and fifth units




Sixth, seventh and spare unit




So many figures they will not all fit in my lightbox! (216 of them infact).


Not bad for two weeks work.

I think Adrian should be well chuffed with those, Will !

Not bad indeed and a very reasonable trade for replumbing your house

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

There's a lot more to the army, and the next 500 armies...
Basically, I'm in hock to him and his brother for life.

well that's one way to swap "unpainted lead (I know we don't use lead in house plumbing anymore) for painted lead."

You're a blimin' painting machine

3/5 of Adrian's light horse are done (ran out of transfers for shield, hopefully they will be here before English lockdown commences again)


Quite pleased with the way they came out


Suitably horde like 2nd unit




They feel right, don't know why, but hey!




Just think there's two more units of these

I'm left with the feeling these are even better than the photographs suggest, Lemmey. Good job!

Six foot skirmishers added to Adrian's army.
First 4 units


He likes his skirmishers.


Top view to show basing.


Another two (one more than is actually in his list, but it gives him some flexibility).




The rear view, after 76 of these, I really don't want to have to paint buttocks again for a long while!

Looking good
