All good things come to an end and that includes the few Gripping Beast Moors that I had left in the pile of shame.
These three models are the last that were left unpainted. I do have another eight of these camels, but have no riders for them, so it's finished for any more painting on the Almoravids for a while.
I'm not sure what make the camel is, but the Gripping Beast riders are not a brilliant fit, although this one does sit a little better than the drummer I did last time.
I did note that I managed to splash some of the yellow ochre that I use on the base on that archer on the left, whoops, these things only show up in the photos!
Two 28mm foot and a 28mm camel rider should net me 20 more points towards my total.
When I saw the title of this post, I had assumed it would be for Docherty's Dock, but it appears that camels (well, one anyway) have escaped into the wilds of the Challenge. And with a subtle refrence to the Walken/BOC sketch too - that deserves a bonus point I think.
Beautiful work Paul - 21 well deserved points are coming your way.

Lovely work again mate.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I asked about the Islamic forces too soon lol
Fab work but I'm a bit saddened that i won't see any more 11th Century Spanish, Andalusian or Almoravid work from you.
You might of course be tempted to buy a few more at Partizan if you make it over? :>)
Thanks Darrell, I'll do a count up later, but I reckon I likely have more than enough El Cid stuff for any gaming needs I may have, but, never say never.
DeleteExcellent Moors as always!
