Usual painting style, this time with a white undercoat and a final coat of Army Painter Strong (ie the mid) tone. The photos are larger than this - you can click them to see a bigger version.
Here they are, based up but not yet inked/Army painter'ed
Unusually I elected to hand-paint the shields here.
I mixed up the horses and riders a little, so they don't quite map onto the photos on the Perry site
They are a mix of Syrian / Seljuk / Turkish types, although some look to be a bit more Turkoman
The guy on the left is actually a Conquest Games Norman knight, with a spare head from the Gripping Beast infantry. The Conquest Games Normans
seem to fit very well alongside these Perry troops - the horses are a little chubbier, but they are still decent.
Geometric and floral patterns on the rather simple shield designs.
I did some of the turbans in stripes, which I have seen as an Omani thing in today's Arab world - it looks more interesting than a plan turban thingy so worth a try every now and then.
They will get an outing soon along with the accompanying infantry from Gripping Beast. There are probably some of the Gripping Beast Arab
infantry on eBay UK if you click that link too..
