It's rather a small post this week sadly, but it's something at least and a step closer to my target.
Today I have some of Essex miniatures 15mm Arab militia Spearmen, the figures are rather plain but they're also super clean and very easy to paint. I found 15mm figures with too much detail to be a bit of a chore to paint in all honesty, I'd rather save that for my 28mm minis.
These are part of an on going generic middle eastern crusader period army. I like the idea of choosing a specific army to recreate, but it limits the scope for opponents at the club unfortunately so I need to cover a few options in one army. The majority of my challenge will be to paint up more for this project as you'll see over the coming weeks.
A nice group of Arab spearmen Alex! The shields are nicely done and although you say you did no fine detailing on them, the figures could have gone through for 28mm's if you ask me. So that brings us to the counting of points and yes 8 little 15mm soldiers bring you 16 points for the total. I cannot wait to see the rest of this army, perhaps a group-shot for all us Challenge Denizens perhaps? Anyway great stuff Alex!
