Medieval Indian armies in 10mm

[Rhys]

A quick look at the DBA lists yields even less information...

A long time ago I built a DBM later Muslim Indian army in 15mm using Essex figures. While pre me having a digital camera, I've found soem pictures a friend toof after he brought the army off me which show my interpretation of the elephants and the Jagirdar cavalry. The Howdahs were plasticard and I think I made the umbrella shapes with a thermoset clay.



And this is what I would like to see in a 10mm Muslim cavalry pack.



This was a fun army to paint (It won at least 1 best painted award) and also to play on the table (I won a DBR competition using them as Rajputs, don't underestimate a large number of rubbish bow ats a second line).

The TB Line figures are very close to the above, between the Islamic and Eastern European ranges. 

Given all the riders are torsos upwards, it feels some mix and match to get different looks would be possible, along with a few minor adjustments of riders.

Just found this illustration which shows Muslim indian figures from 1450, though I doubt that they changed much in the the preceeding century.



So, which tops and bottoms can we mix and match to simulate these mounted figures?

ERm which illustration ?

Do you not see the image? It's a lovely, glorious image. The colour, the dynamism. Magnificent!

It is true, that only those whose heart is true, whose brain is nimble, whose virility is evident, can see the image for it is a magical, wonderous image.

For the less than worthy. 


That lancer seems to be heading for a Harold Godwinson experience.

So it seems that an Image I linked to which showed in the preview pain, then was there when I refreshed the page after I loaded the post and looked fine last night, wasn't there.......
