The gribbles look really good Forbes.

Looking forward seeing to what you achieve with those TB figs.

Cheers - Phil

Araby Army

As my Araby army has been used in the last few battles, and I have started work on some more TB units for them, I thought it would be good to get all the troops together, so see what I have, and what I have still to add.



The army is a mix of manufacturers, GW, TB Line, Magister Militum and Pendraken.


The Pendraken Turks, with black powder weapons are closest to the camera.

In the to paint pile, are a few more foot archers, lots of horse archers, camels and knights.

A very impressive army

One small suggestion, an hour spent dark edging all the bases that aren't would really pull the basing together

[Fenton]

Very impressive Forbes

[jchaos79]

Fred, you have a really lovely army.

[Techno]

Splendid , Forbes !! 

Cheers - Phil

[fred.]

Thanks chaps.

Paul, you are right about the basing been rather inconsistent but I think I will lighten the dark edges (which will be laser cut edges) rather than darken the others.

That's a proper looking army Fred, great work.

That is a very respectable looking army you have there. Any close-ups?

Impressive Forbes!

Awesome Arab Army.

Thanks chaps.

No, for some reason I didn't take any. Too busy trying to get everything in one shot. I'll see if I can crop some of the photos to get more detail.

[fred.]

Some crops of the photos to show some more details - not the best pictures I'm afraid.

Spearmen

GW on the left, MM on the right

Horse Archers

TB Line - not really finished

Cavalry & Elephants

Mostly TB Line, the nearer elephants are MM, wizards are GW

Guns

Pendraken (yeah!!) Janisarry canons, handgunners, mortars, and seige guns

Thanks chaps.

I was tossing up which to suggest, I went with the majority Light edges will look good

Hello

Very nice looking Araby army. Like the idea of using Janissaries for the firearm troops. I was thinking of using the Afghan types but will have a look at the Turks now.

The Afghans look good - I'm tempted to add some now.

What on earth is that army?

Warmaster Fantasy - Araby

"Araby is one of those lands in the world of Warhammer that always seemed to be talked about but never received the full army treatment for the 28mm miniatures game. However, Warmaster took care of that for 10mm, making Araby an official expansion army."
