That's an impressive set of armies there fred. 

I'm particularly keen to see the Araby style Dragon Men.

Ask and you shall receive




These are a good percentage of my Araby troops arrayed for Warband - I can field a solid core of 4 Men at Arms, and 3 Archers or Archers at Arms. Along with a Baron ( or should that be Emir?) it gives me a solid 300 pts of core troops.

I then have lots of options, for manoeuvre: Horse Archers (marcher horse with Parting Shot), Camel Riders ( marcher horse with Swift and Parting Shot). flying Carpets (Pegasi).

For shooting Cannons or Hand Gunners - though I may need to model the hand gunners with some cover to represent their 3d6 protection.

For hard hitting Elephants (Ogres and Giants), Knights (with Fierce and Impetous), or Foot Knights as the Emir's Guard.

And wizards with their Djinn

The infantry are mainly based on 40x20mm with some of the cavalry and guns on 40x40mm. I will mount them on 100x50mm sabots.

Very nice!

Very nice force!

Thanks chaps.

I was surprised at how many core troops I needed  - which is most of my bow and spear troops. And then how expensive the Optional troops are - which means I can field many variations around them ( especially as I have more optional troops than those photographed )

Great looking army, be sure to let us know how you get on with the rules.

Damn fine work as always, Fred ! 
Cheers - Phil

Good stuff - no Rucks though ?

Aren't rucks what they have in Rugby? Not really sure what you are meaning here Ian?

I received my order of sabot bases (and counters) from Leon today - very nice they are two.



These are some quick tests to see how things look - very good being my view. These are just placed together with no glue, so the tops may not align with the bases as things may have moved.

I do like the custom 2p sabots that Leon cut for me - the holes in these could perhaps be a 0.5mm bigger - just to give a little more tolerance. On the ones with the square holes there is a nice amount of space that makes it easy to put the figures in.

I am thinking that I should have got some ones with 1p sized holes cut too for wizards that I have on 1ps.

Now to get these stuck together, and some sand on them. I'm now slightly torn as I was intending to do these sabots brown with a bit of static grass - but now I've got the Araby figures out, I think I need some desert ones...

Oh i say, they're jolly nice.  Can't wait to see them sanded up.   

Great ideas.
I think I need 30x 60 gapped sabots.
If you do get 1p ones, I might order some too for my wizzards and generals...

Fantastic job Fred!

No - the giant elephant eatting bird. There is one somewhere in the Fantasy accessories, and my 3 are stored well away from the Sassainians and Indians.

Having just been giving antibiotics to one of our chickens, I can recommend the idea of a terror bird in any army
