New addition here are some Sudanese archers. For these I used a watered down Devlan Mud wash that I applied carefully in the shadows and then a highlight. It\'s really helped speed the painting while maintaining a standard I\'m happy with.

Wow, I could add them to my army, you used the same basing technique.
I like them very much and got inspired by your cavalry. Mine isn\'t finished yet.

[Axebreaker]

Not surprised our bases look similar as the desert doesn\'t offer too many opportunities for variation. sm_party_box
Very happy I inspired you! Say the next Sud. in Erlangen(yet to be determined) I plan on doing a Crusades theme Impetus event and it would be nice if you attend.

Continuing on with my 15mm Ayyubid
Muslim army for the Crusades in the form of Turcoman Horse Archers
which are a main stay of the army of the period. Their lightning swift
hit and run tactics were a constant thorn in the side of Crusaders
until they got their own to counter it!

Their looking great and the colours are great. Especially the guy with the orange outfit. This hits the eye... :m_pirate_shock:
The base fits to the overall rest with its scarce tufts of gras. ThatÂŽs the way outremer should look like...

simply stunning  :thumbup:

Absolutely stunning work... in this tiny scale... I\'m jealous!

[Finarfin]

Your choice of colors is truly inspiring... In every other context I would have doubted the painters sanity if he had told me about using all the colors of the rainbow at once, but those guys rock!

Great choice for 15mm!

[J.S.]

I second that! Hard to beat the look of a well painted oriental army, be it Ottomans, Persians or this fine example here  :thumbup:

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words of support!

Very nice job! Like them very much

[Koppi (thrifles)]

The bright and shining colours of these guys are really great. Like them.

Mamluks are the elite of my 15mm
Ayyubid army for Impetus. They began as slave soldiers before
eventually taking Nobles into their ranks were some even became Sultan!
They were not just deadly archers, but were equally hard in close
quarter fighting and in a large part defeated both the Crusaders and
Mongols to give some perspective of their qualities for those perhaps
not familiar with them.
Thanks for viewing!

Hey, some great figures you made there. Very interesting, that you chose to have them look as if riding by instead of charging into battle. Seems more right to me in case of cavalry archers, but still never saw anyone base minis like this.

Deine Impetus-Muslim-Armee ist so schön, dass ich mir das gar nicht so genau ansehen darf. Die Baeses inspirieren mich einmal mehr ĂŒber die weitere Verwendung meiner 15mm Kreuzritter nachzudenken, obwohl ich schon genĂŒgend Projekte habe.

Die Ausrichtung der Reiter sieht einfach klasse aus. Ich finde die Option bei Inmpetus einen Unterschied zwischen der Elementkante und der Ausrichtung der Truppen zu unterscheiden einfach klasse. Dadurch sieht alles viel weniger eckig aus, als es ist.

Mich wĂŒrde interessieren, ob Du Vorbilder fĂŒr die bunten GewĂ€nder hast, oder ob alles aus Deiner KĂŒnsterhand kam. Weiterhin wĂŒrde ich mich ĂŒber ein paar Close up Bilder freuen.
