Reconquista 8

The recently completed Analogue Hobbies Quarantine Challenge 2020 saw some progress being made with the Almohads and Moors in general.

First is a unit of heavy infantry that will form the basis of the centre line of the painted army with this being the first of either four or six stands for this. 


The figures are from Gripping Beast and are still some of my favourites for this period. 


A common theme throughout the project is the use of a dark gray headdress to tie the units together. There is no other reason for this than artistic licence and it adds to the unity of all the units as well as the individuals on each stand. 


Next for this period is another command stand, the second of three needed for the army if used at 200 points. The figures again are from Gripping Beast and the standard from Little Big Men transfers. 


The drummer behind the left shoulder of the Iman was painted for this challenge, whilst the other two figures have been painted previously.






Here are both stands side by side.


There will be some more from the last Challenge shortly before starting the first Thirty Days, Thirty Miniatures Challenges for the summer months. 

Hope that you like these. 

Cheers for now

Nicely done, I do like those GB castings, I have a load of them myself.

They are very effective, the limited range of colours used is most effective.
