As a mark of how much my pace of painting has slowed, here's a couple of bases (or packs) of Museum Z-range camel archers I must have bought in the Museum sale back in January!
These guys are the type who appear as baggage guards for a number of Hellenistic and other Roman-era desert dwelling armies, which I picked up as the Essex camels I had are a little uninspiring (to say the least).
These were undercoated in white and painted mostly in GW Contrast paints with some other colours added for the details.
This shot shows a Light Camel unit using Essex figures alongside the Museum camels.
The Essex camels are a little smaller, but viewed from wargaming distances and angles the difference is barely noticable
This shot shows the "old" Museum double-crewed Biblical Bedouin Giant Camel - still a monster casting, towering over the new Museum figures
And here are all three in a procession!
This pair of Mediocre Medium and Light Camels will be guarding the baggage and frightening enemy Light Horse on a table near you in the near future !
