Nearly there - Fantasy Turk 7Hd and 2Ps

 

After these just a unit of Arab 4Bw and Turkish 4Sp to go - though later on I'll no doublt do a load of Tuareg camels and convert some Achaemenid Persian cavalry to make more convincing Arab cavalry!

Putting shields pointing to the front makes it look like some of these are trying to run away - looks a lot better on the table than in the photos! The officer in the blue sash is actually side on and about to slash someone with his sword - just looks like he's got his back to the enemy. Did these as mainly spears with a couple of bows as a kind of unenthusiastic town militia rather than a disorganised mob.

For the Turkish 2Ps I've gone for javelin shield rather than bow - got Arab  bow armed PS and Turkish 3Bw so just adding to the diversity.

I have already got the two remaining units cast and ready for undercoating, part way through painting Austrian Grenadiers and I'm putting together a British 7YW force - figures already cast.
