Outremer Arabs - Knives and bombs.

Another day and another fistful of Arabs completed.

Not sure if these will make the table top in any meaningful way but I am working on the basis that no mini's will be left behind :-)



Two Assassins ready to strike in the middle of the night.

Four Naffatun's these were Turkish Infantry who carried primitive bombs to throw a volatile flammable liquid at their enemy, the burning liquid would penetrate the heaviest armour but the chances of exploding in their own hands is high.

Could be fun in a skirmish game and might even make their way into the Napoleonic games.

  1. Nice figures, they sound like they're gonna be a difficult opponent?

    1. Reading the Crusader-Lion Rampant Supplement they look useful for taking on knights ;-)

  2. With my interest in Pulp games Stu, I can see lots of uses for the first two, in particular! Lovely looking figures and poses, and nicely painted too.

  4. I'm not sure if the assassins will make the table but they are cracking figures, real sense of stealth in them, very nicely done. The bombers would make for a good scenario, will they harm the enemy or will they harm themselves!!

    1. That's what I was thinking, they might be skirmish unit but I will be keeping them away from everyone else :-)
