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.

Araby Bladedancer and Assassins

 First up is a bladedancer for my Araby army courtesy of Reaper minis. I went for a darker skin tone but it’s a nod to Storm from the Xmen.

 

From Reaper also is this assassin. It’s an old school thick metal mini that will double as a throwing weapon if needed.

Lastly from Harlequin/ black tree design is one of their Saracen assassins.

Here they are with the also recently finished palace guard.

Araby Palace Guard and Character

First up is my unit of 14 palace guard for my Araby army. The mins are part of the harlequin now black tree design Saracen range and are perfect. I have another two blisters including the command group on their way from different parts of the world.

Next is one of my favourite GW minis, Suliman the Saracen who I have rescued from his service to Bretonnia to rejoin his araby brothers.

The horse is from black tree design to match in the other cavalry I have already finished. This mini did not have his original shield so I subbed in one from some 3d prints.

Araby Cavalry

The last of my converted Araby cavalry have been finished. When completing these I decided as they would represent heavier cavalry they would have liberated tomb king shields.

The unit is now finished and are ready to leave the plains of Araby for the old world.

More Araby Cavalry

I managed to finished two more cavalry. The first will be the unit champion and the other will be a trooper.

With these two the unit is now six strong with two more on the painting table.

 

Araby - Warhammer Armies Project

 With my recent commencement playing WAP I can now use my former Arabyonnians as a fully imagined Araby army.

First up is some new cavalry armed with spears. I have converted the classic Al Muktar’s Desert Dogs with cut down bretonnian lances as spears. Shields are yet to come as unfortunately I do not have any of the muktar ones spare.

I chose to go different colours to the black and purple of my bros already painted and settled on green and orange/ red.

The horses are from black tree miniatures warriors of Islam range.

Next up is the leader of the unit and a couple more bros. I should have a full unit of eight when I am done.

Arabyonnians - Araby themed Kingdom of Equitaine army

In preparation for the upcoming visit to the stripping station please see in all of its black wash glory the Arabyonnians - Araby themed Kingdom of Equitaine army.

Prior to end times these bros used the Bretonnian army book and rules.

I played these dudes constantly during 7th edition and briefly in the early days of 8th.  The release of the Legion of Azgorh in that mighty tome, Tamurkhan, had me return to the plains of Zharr.

Now I plan on bringing these bros into 2019/20 but before I do here they are:

First up is a unit of Al Muktar’s Desert dogs with a reaper wizard on a black tree design camel along with a unit of black tree design from the warriors of Islam range.

Camel knights from black tree design warriors of Islam range with GW’s suliman the Saracen.

Flying carpets count as Pegasus knights with GW paymaster, griping beast riders, carpets and genie from reaper

Reliquary from GW with others from griping beast and Perry miniatures

Spearmen from black tree design warriors of Islam range.

Archers from black tree design warriors of Islam range.

War elephants - formerly used as transport for cavalry for theatrical purposes to represent the devastation of the Arabyonnian charge. Elephants from schleigh.
