[Bodvoc]

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

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.   

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

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.

Roc/Rukh/Ruck or "Dave" as he's known to his mates

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

Excellent work, Fred !

Thanks chaps - these aren't particularly recently painted figures (even managed to include some Pendraken in the photos, as my Araby army is a broad mix of manufacturers).

A Giant Roc would be cool - I didn't realise Pendraken did one - I was looking for one a couple of years ago for a KoW araby style list.
