I've painted a Medieval Syrian army using Legio Heroica figures for the cavalry and Khurasan figures for the foot. I've also used LBMS transfers for the shields and banners.  It's a contemporary of the Crusader armies and lends itself to morphing into a number of other armies. More pictures are here: hesperiana.wordpress.com |

Those look very nice Commiades. You have obviously pit a lot of thought into that Army and I love the colour palette you have used.

Very impressive array and good use of a theme colour. The Legio Heroica are fine figures, I am almost tempted to collect their Mongols. |

However, the thought of cutting of shields is likely to see them sink into the lead pile! Very impressive array and good use of a theme colour. The Legio Heroica are fine figures, I am almost tempted to collect their Mongols. Thanks; LH are lovely figures; I've spent a bit of time considering getting more figures to allow me to morph this army into Fatimids, but so far I've resisted (mainly because other projects have presented themselves). |

Very nice indeed Mark. Are they likely to make an appearance at CANCON?
Cheers,

Very nice indeed Mark. Are they likely to make an appearance at CANCON? Cheers, Not as Syrians, but as Samanids, I think. |

Thanks, they saw action last night against some Normans impersonating War of the Roses English. I learnt a bit and after losing the first battle badly, won a close fight in the second. The Ghulams acquitted themselves well after the Syrian cavalry was lost at the start to archery. In both battles I was the aggressor and was lucky that in each battle a difficult hill couldn't be played in the sector it was diced for. I had the best of both worlds -- favourable terrain and the luxury of deploying second.
