Footsore Miniature - Islamic Medium Cavalry

The Crusader project continues apace.... 

Still along way short of what's needed for a big game in the Autumn, Medium Cavalry from Footsore Miniatures, these will be very handy in the battles against the Christian forces, reasonably well armoured but with bow as well, so plenty of options to keep the opposition guessing.



Lovely sculpts from the Footsore guys, you will need to drill the hands out which can be tricky and the steel pins certainly seem to inflict more damage on the players than the mini's on the table.



Next up a switch in scale and the 10mm AWI whilst I wait for the Atlantic/Footsore plastics in the shape of foot sergeants and levy, the painting queue shows no sign of shrinking.

  1. Pikes are even more dangerous! I have taken to blunting the ends.

    1. I think they have inflicted more casualties in real life than on the table top at the moment.

  2. Lovely work! Spears made from plastic bristles are the way to go, flexible and tough.
