More Outriders

 My Ravenwing is nearing completion with another three Outriders.



I wanted these to match my second unit so went with a mix of helmet less heads from various kits. I also converted the sarge version into a standard Outrider by removing the heavy bolt pistol and converted the hand to be wielding a chainsword.



Painting followed the usual approach but I went a little harder on the grey dry brush, black speed paint and second grey dry brush. 


The list I have run has two 6 man units of Outriders and a 6 man unit of Black Knights. Each has at least a character or the Ravenwing command squad. The three bike units hit hard but the counter strike needs to be considered. 

I like to have my Reivers and Darkshroud ready to back up the furious charge.


Arabyonnians/ Bretonnian Exiles

 As I dipping my toe back to in the Old World it was time to finish off the Arabyonnians who I will run as Bretonnian Exiles.

First up is my Baron who received an extra axe as he is wielding the frontier axe in the list I am currently running.

His horse is an old GW Bretonnian horse to differentiate him from the other knights.



My Green Genie aka the Green Knight is an old metal reaper mini updated to match the colour scheme of the never bros.


I also finished my Knights on foot with great weapons. These are old Black tree design Saracen bros I have been wanting to finish. 


The final new bros are black tree design warriors of Islam with crossbows who I run as Border Princes Brigands. 


I have had two test games and as usual the mounted knights hit like a sledgehammer but am yet to give the foot knights a real challenge. Brigands were pretty good in both shooting and can take a charge from smaller units in combat.

More games to come.
