Cretan archers and Seljuk Cavalry

With the weather remaining fairly bad and wet up north and the living room freshly decorated I have had some more time on the painting desk this week.

First up a unit of Cretan archers, purchased these such a long time ago I can’t remember. They are Essex miniatures and can play as mercenaries for a number of forces, but are most likely to see service in the employ of the Athenians.

These Seljuk cavalry/light horse archers have been in progress for a number of months, anyone visiting the dungeon will have seen their very slow progress to completion. I finally got bored of them sitting on the desk. They may see some additional faffing at some later point if I am bored. They are all gripping beast figures I think and I individually based them to allow maximum flexibility.originally there were 18 but when I looked at them in more detail 3 were more specifically Arab light cavalry as I have few spare of these they have been taken away to make up a unit.  Another reason for the basing choice 👍

Anyway thanks for looking in I must get round to writing up the Bound Brook Battle… another Bridge crossing scenario but in a different period this weekend, what could possibly go wrong ?
