Even though No Gaming - Army Building Continues

 Finished up flocking on some odds and ends that have been on the desk.

8 stand battlegroup of Sabir Hun Heavy Foot - Forged in Battle 15mm figures using a mix of Scythian and Alan foot.  Most painted by Mark Kernan of The One Tree Miniatures Painting Service out of Northern Ireland.  I added about a 1/4 of the figures to round them out to 32.



8 stand battlegroup of Skythian medium foot spearmen - Forged in Battle 15mm figures again using a mix of Scythian and Alan foot.  The majority of these were also painted by Mark Kernan.  These will also double for Hill Tribesmen for Parthian and Sassanid armies and will be a stand in for Caucasian Hill Tribe foot in my Broken Rays of the Sun Campaign.  I have a boat load more of these (spearmen and archers) that have not been flocked that I will add to the blog at some point.  These are for the most part the same figures as used for the Sabir Huns above but with more spearmen and fewer axemen.



Two 8 stand battlegroups of Dilimite Foot warriors - all but a handful are Forged in Battle 15mm Dailami foot with some Eureka Almughavars thrown in for variety.  These have all been painted by yours truly.  The Dilimites are an early name for the Dailami before they became famous.  They have an allied list in Field of Glory.  I need at least 16 more stands of these.




4 stand battlegroup of Arab light horse archers - these are all Forged in Battle 15mm figures that will be part of my Hatran allied contingent for the Broken Rays of the Sun campaign.  I painted all of these.  I have 16 stands of foot archers, 4 stands of camelphracts, 4 stands of cavalry horse archers and a camp also done for these that have been pictured elsewhere.



2 command stands: one on the left is a Hatran Allied General and the one on the right is a Dilimite Allied general. 


The Hatran figures are Old Glory 15s cataphracts from the Parthian and Sassanid range.  I painted these and added the flag.  The flag uses a sun disk associated with Shamesh, God of the Sun.

The Dilimites are a mix of figures:   Two figures are Forged in Battle 15mm and one is an Eureka Almughavar.  I painted these.  The musician is a FIB Sassanid just for variety.  Unfortunately, the lighting was off for these.
