Mob, Unprotected, Elite, Undrilled, _ , _

Not that they're likely to appear in a FoG list of course

Working on it! The Himalayan huntsmen (light foot archers) will be first, followed by the first round of armoured cav.

especially the Exorcists with Magic Daggers

Even in DBMM you can only have three!

Tell you what, if you want to invest the $100US I'll be happy to take the donation and have the Exorcist made (that's ONE pose).

all the best

Paypal or Cheque?

If you are serious. Paypal me the money and I will have one pose made. Duncan Head provided me with a sketch, it's just completely uneconomical to make it, of course.

As a bonus I will provide you with a complete DBMM element's worth of them -- FREE!

On a more serious note I have added the rama lama ding dongs to the list. I will make:

Spearmen
Pikemen (spearman conversions)
Crossbowmen
Arquebusiers (crossbowmen conversions)
Ginetes
Knights
Swordsmen
Possibly almughavers (if I can determine what they looked like in the late 15th C!).

Am doing the research now. Apparently the troops in this army had a distinctive look (many wore hoods, for instance) so probably do deserve their own models.

I'll give you a definate reply on next Monday, 18th. I'll know if I still have a job then, and if I do they'll be paying me more. I can use them for command bases, although I think there should be 2 bases in the army list.
Whats DBMM?

The game that allows you to use exorcists with magical daggers.

Seriously though, if you really do want the fellows that much (that you are willing to commission them), let me know next monday and I will see to it. The sculptor is working on the garrison spears and archers now (I was reluctant to commission even them -- 24 models is not a lot to sell!).

Assuming these are the Santa hoody doody castillians that's excellent news!

Re the almughhavers - I understand that Eureka have started work on these as one of their 300 club projects. As these figures are used in relatively small numbers (albeit in a number of armies) it may well not be worth your while doubling up on these in production, although there's always something to be said for consistent sculpting in an army

[quote="khurasan_miniatures"] Huns will be part of the LIR line (light AND heavy huns)


Heavy Huns?

Pray what are these mirages? Are they the nobility sated on the flesh of the vanquished? More likely the wargamers dream of "heavy" cavalry?

May I enquire what you are basing "heavy" Huns on?

A decent range of Germans/Goths would indeed be welcome - ditch the coffin shields and topknots though dear boy.

Pelagius

There are quite a few almughavers in the Catalan Army! essex are the only ones I know producing them so with only 2 poses to choose from its not that appealing.

I would hope for Eureka tpo produce something that can mix with these for at least a couple more poses but woudlnt hold my breath. There has apparently been over 300 orders in their 300 club for years now ans still no figs.

Also Irregular make one, and Alain Touller has 7 variants in his Feudal Spanish range:

Style and size wise they're all pretty similar, so mix well.

Also Museum Miniatures, with their Welsh Medieval Infantry - can be used for either Almughavar Offensive Spearmen or Impact Foot.
The only thing missing is the iron cap but that's liveable I think

Hammy,

For my Medieval Swedes I have just used Black Hat standard medieval guys (mostly German types from 50-100 years prior to my Swede timeline,) and Old Glory German Medievals. Seems to work pretty well.

I'll part sponsor some Tibetan exorcists...!
Let me know.
Looking forward to the rest of the Tibetans, been waiting years for them!

How about Late Romans?

I'll part sponsor some Tibetan exorcists...!

And I've still got a job. I guess its time for a price!
