15mm Tibetan Nomad Tribesmen

I needed some mobile light horse to balance all the heavy Tibetan cavalry, and therefore completed eighteen elements of nomadic tribesmen:


















As with most figures in the Khurasan range, there two horse and two rider poses, which is fine when there are only two firgures per base anyway:




































Again, they are on the true 15mm end of the scale, but I was quite pleased with the result and they turned out a little better than I had expected when I first saw the bare metal:




































They will be taking the table for this army's first outing this coming Saturday, so I was glad to have them completed in time:




































Next up will be some Tibetan artillery in the form of two large rope-pull stone-throwers, which I am also hoping to have completed in time for Saturday's game.

  1. Your work on these horse archers looks brilliant to me. I await reading of your new army’s battle test.

    1. Thanks Jonathan. I will have to try to remember to take a few pictures this time, which is something we always forget to do in the heat of battle.

  2. Great looking light horse archers Lawrence ....when you say they are not true 15mm I assume they are larger...you rarely see 15mm that are too small! They look very nice anyway...wonderful work as always..look forward to a report of their gaming exploits.

    1. Cheers Keith. Some of the Xyston "15mm" figures I have painted over the las year or so are more like large 18mm figures, but these sculpts are definitely a truer 15mm figure and look quite small in comparison. It has taken a bit of adjustment as it is quite surprising how much easier the larger 18mm figures are to paint in comparison.

    1. Thanks Ray, that was part of the attraction, as well as wanting an excuse to sample some of the Khurasan Miniatures range which I had not purchased before.

    1. Thanks Peter. I tried not to go overboard with the colour, but wanted to give them a bit of a lift.
