15mm Ghaznavid Ghulams

After having completed the Palace Ghulams a few weeks ago I was keen to complete the remaining fifteen elements of standard Ghulams:











I had used only figures with upright spears and lances and attached a few banners for the Palace Ghulams so they would be more easily distinguishable, and used the rest of the poses for the other Ghulams. I am thoroughly enjoying painting these Forged in Battle figures, the only minor quibble being that there is no obvious seating point for some of the riders and they require a little bit of trial and error to avoid them sitting awkwardly on their mounts:





























I deliberately tried to utilise slightly less colours on these figures compared to the Palace troops, although they are still no doubt colourful enough:





















Depending on how many points you wish to pay under DBMM, they can be rated as either (O)rdinary or (S)uperior cavalry, which makes them quite effective against most other troop types although they still remain susceptible to knights:











Including horses this block constitutes another ninety figures completed:











Next up, twelve elements of light horse archers and four elements of allied Arab/Kurdish cavalry.
