I'm in the midst of a "odds and sods" painting frame of mind, either bringing armies up to 3.0 compatibility, or painting additional elements for morphing purposes. Today I completed the 1x3Bw required to enhance the armies of Early Muslim North Africa and Sicily. Next up are the elements for the Khwarizmian, which will be using my Seljuk Turks as the basis for the morph. I've also got enough camels to do a number of Cm and LCm elements.
Cheers,

They have been cleaned up and mounted on painting nails. Tomorrow I hope to prime them. Cheers,

I'll try and clean them up today, glue them to the painting nails and apply primer. Cheers,

Cheers, The Mtd-Inf (3Bw) for the Khwarizmians was finished yesterday and I've now moved on to the final element for this morphing exercise. The figures for the 3Cv (G) element have been cleaned up, mounted on painting nails and primed. I've also painted an appropriate flag/banner for the commander's base. Not sure when I'll be able to apply any colour to the figures. Cheers,

Next up for the Odds and Sods legion is a baggage toting elephant. I thought that it would be a useful, for appropriate armies, when playing in one of David Lawrence's Collision Course tournaments. So far the components have been assembled, cleaned up, mounted on painting nails and primed. Cheers,

A quick search .. and help from wikipedia ... helped me locate this army in time, geography and culturally..
Has Wiki got it right, is it an empire based upon the fighting strength of "The Kipchaks or Qipchaks, also known as Kipchak Turks or Polovtsians, were Turkic nomads and then confederation that existed in the Middle Ages inhabiting parts of the Eurasian Steppe." ??
CarlL still learning If more slowly as time progresses!)

CarlL still learning If more slowly as time progresses!) Sorry for the period of "radio silence" CarlL. Other stuff got in the way. I'm not sure that they inhabited the Eurasian steppes. My scant knowledge of the Khwarizmians is that they formed a state after becoming disaffected with their Seljuk overloards in the late 12th century and for about 50 years were a viable entity until they were heavily defeated by the Mongols in 1231. The remnants of the Khwarizmian army was hired by various sultans in the greater Syrian region. They even captured Jerusalem in 1244. Later in the same year, were part of the army which defeated a coalition of forces, that included the last Latin crusader force to be fielded in large numbers, at the battle of La Forbie. As is the case with most mercenary armies, they became hubristic and were virtually destroyed in 1246 by their former employer, under the leadership of Baibers. Cheers,

I hope to finish the 1x3Cm and 2xLCm elements over the next couple of days. Cheers,
