Making Arab infantry masters

 Cavalry figures for the next mould are now with Pete. Some of these figures will then be further converted as Fantasy Arab infantry.

Meanwhile I've started with some of the robed infantry figures anyway. The one with the upright spear spear will act as a standard bearer - spear a bit short but... Torso is from the Mameluke, spear arm and robes from my robed Achaemenid Persian conversion. So a conversion made from conversions. A shield from the '25mm' Norman range gives a bit of variation...
Robed swordsmen - the one with the Khmer shield will also serve as an officer!

These are some of the figures done as 'proof of concept'. The one in Turkic clothing is simply a cavalry figure on a base. 

To do once I get the mould back - robed archer plus Turkic swordsmen, spearmen and archers. Turkic swordsman and archers are just a matter of puttting cavalry figure on a base, Arab robed archer will have the same sort of body swap as the Robed swordsmen, and the Turkic spearmen will get a new arm from an Achaemenid Persian!

  1. Good looking figures Rob and they look excellent once painted. Top work on the tricky task of painting those lines down the tunics and trousers!
    Best wishes, James

  3. Nice figures and they have painted up well, paint pens are a real boon for that type of work.
