What figures should be used for these troops ? Cavalry & then reveal them as humpies when the enemy gets close enough ?

I have camels with stick on elephant ears and long noses.

See. Strangely I have not used them in FoG. Possibly just as strangely I did use them in DBM. They were arse in that too.

Now that is funny? but a good job

They are actual figs. Black hat IIRC

actually think they may be Chariot minis....correct me if I am wrong

Ex-Chariot, now Magister Militum, in the Assyrian range. I have a pack somewhere, must paint them.

Yes, they're Chariot. I've not used mine since 7th edition. They were rubbish in that too. And 6th!

They would be ok stuck behind some Spear and disordering mounted stuff.

Camels don't move as a group with spear and would tie up a general moving them short to stay in touch. Or they'd fail the CMT to move short and be just too far to disorder the enemy knights, but just close enough to be caught in the spearmens rout and destroyed as usual.

[edit]They do need a general to move short since they move like cavalry. Not like the oafs they were in DBM.

They might be OK behind drilled spear. If the spear werem, say, 3MU in front of the camels then they could short move 2MU alloweing the camels to do their 5MU straight forward move into pong range.

What army list gets disguised camels and what are they classed as? El inferior?

Arab conquest. They are classed as CRAP. Poor, unprotected, camels for the full definition IIRC.

I don't care who you are that is FUNNY right there

Stick on elephant ears and noses...........

I think Phil should extra points at the next FOG con IF he actually wears them while gaming
Especially if there is drinking involved

Is this a challenge?

Phil, it would top your Britcon 2009 winning performance but people would think you were Jer...

That said if I see you dressed like that at the gaming table for FoG, I will buy you a beer...

Oh dear. If you offer beer he will come.

I actually bought some of these figs at Fall In --- Flea Market --- I can't wait to paint them up

I have absolutly NO IDEA what to do with them - when I get them painted but I am going to paint them
