After having completed the Arab heavy cavalry recently all that remained to complete the army was eight elements of medium and six of light cavalry:
I recognised a few of the figures from other Forged in Battle packs, but there were some new ones in there and all are suitably unarmoured:
The medium (or 'Ordinary' in DBMM parlance) cavalry have all been based with three to a base:
While two figures to a base signifies they are Light Cavalry:
The DBMM Arab army list also allows up to four elements of camels, classified either as Inferior Light Horse or the rather more useful Camel(X), so I thought I'd also include them. I'm not actually sure how I will work them into an army list as it means omitting other potentially more useful troops, but it is good to have the option:
These are one-piece castings and quite thin when viewed head-on, but perfectly OK from other angles:
That is the Arab Conquest army now completed, my third Arab army in a row and the largest of the three thus far. I'm about to move on to a Ghurid army which will be the last of the quartet, but will try to get all the Arab Conquest together for a few group photos in the meantime.
An incredible project Lawrence! three Arab armies in a row is no small feat, and finishing the largest one is definitely a milestone worth celebrating with a group photo! :o) seeing them all assembled will look impressive.
ReplyDeleteThe Ghurid army will be a fantastic contrast to the Arab Conquest force, allowing for different troop types (likely more focus on heavy cavalry and infantry Pk(X)?
cheers!
Thanks Phil, and I have appreciated watching yours come together and your encouragement along the way.
DeleteThe Ghurids will be interesting and will provide a different flavour. It looks to be a nice little army and the Superior cavalry and elephants will back up the Pike(X) very nicely.
More lovely work here Lawrence - hopefully you feel motivated to do a few battle reports on them in action, when they hit the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. I keep meaning to take a few photos of our Saturday gaming but the guys I game with just aren't interested in halting the action to take pictures, which is a shame as so many games get forgotten.
DeleteBeautiful work sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, much appreciated.
DeleteExcellent looking camelry, Lawrence! The speed at which you churn out units is always impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. I have been on a good run since the start of the year and am trying my best to maintain it.
DeleteVery nice Lawrence 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. I'm definitely on a theme but just one more Arab army to go now.
DeleteBrilliant work, Lawrence.
