28mm Fire Forge Game plastics. No Red & Black this week instead these nice dynamic looking Mongols. 9 x Infantry from the Steppe Warriors box and 3 x Riders from the Mongol Cavalry box.
The Mongol bodies come as two halves that attach at the belt. Allows for the upper body twist on the Cavalry legs. The parts to make the rider are exactly the same as the infantry with exception of the legs. I really like the Mane on these mounts flowing in the wind. Lends to the dynamic feel.
Fun Facts. The Mongol horse was bred 100% for endurance.
The Mongols used captured infantry as a flesh shield to absorb enemy arrows.
Lovely painting Brendon, you've gotta love any army that uses human arrow shields.
ReplyDeleteNice work Brendon! Bit off a change of subject then :)
ReplyDeleteMore great looking bacon snatchers

I have always wanted to do a hun or Mongol Army, but I don't like painting horses! I admire the colour choices and the brush work. Oh sod it buying some now!
ReplyDeleteThat's the ticket. Get the inspiration for an impulse purchase. Cheers Clint
DeleteNice work, Mongols have such a cool look to them simple but deadly.
ReplyDeleteNo beer? No bacon? *tsk, tsk* ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely (?) bunch of Mongols to add to the previous set Brendon :)
Still a couple of Beer & Bacon kingdom warriors that should make the final week.
DeleteThanks Tamsin.
Really great. Just purchased some Gripping Beast Arab Warriors and they have the same feel as these.
ReplyDeleteNot seen those in person yet but they are on my radar.
DeleteThanks everyone for leaving comments.
Very nice painting, they look like great models.
