Outremer - The first figures of 2024

The first output of 2024 and only a year behind schedule.

Having backed the Kickstarter over 12 months ago, finally time to bite the bullet and get some of the Footsore Miniatures on the paint table. For years I wanted to recreate the Standard Games Hex based game in miniature, but there was not a range of figures that I felt fitted the bill until now.

A great range of figures with lots of character and variety in the poses.

First up Islamic/Arab Archers.... 

Having only played one game of Baron's War last year I need to read the rules properly and match the units figures to units, but two units of 6 archers is a good start.

A cluster of archers - but will they be enough to stop the Crusader heavy horse?

I must be honest the colour combination goes against everything that I painted in recent years, the clash of colours gave me a headache, it matches a number of colour plates in the likes of Osprey and other sources, but initially they were rather garish however a flesh wash has dulled them down a little and the basing makes them feel a whole let better and they will be a real contrast to the Christian forces.

Not enough for a game yet, but a good start.....
