Having loved the Warmaster Araby army when it came out, I thought it might be fun to put something together similar but in 6mm.
This Army is being put together for use with Mayhem!(http://www.wargamevault.com/product/110359/Mayhem) but based 40mmx20mm to be potentially usable in either Warmaster/DBA etc. The main inspiration is Warmaster, though I’ve also drawn from Pre-Islamic Mythology and the Thousand and One Nights. Models are a mixture of Baccus, Rapier and Irregular.
Hope you enjoy – The Baccus and Rapier models are wonderfully detailed and were a real joy to paint.

The Army on the March
Some closeups, with more daylight.
Units from left to right: Camel Riders, Rocs, Cavalry, Spearmen, Archers, Sultan on Flying Carpet, Sultans guard, Ghost Cavalry(To represent summoned units/mirage), Elephants.
And here’s a selection of some of the units I’ll post as they get painted: Dragon(In Pre-Islamic Mythology Djinni’s can take this form), chariots, artillery, Sultan on carpet with standard bearer, a lone Assassin, Sultan on Horseback, horse archers, heavy infantry , and giant scorpions with beastmaster.
As well as the Army’s centrepiece:
As this is my first painting blog, C&C/advice of either my painting or photography skills welcome!
I’d really like to add some Whirling dervishes or Arab swordsman to this army. Lots of choices for these in the bigger scales, but does anyone know where I might find models for these in 6mm? (Though pretty much any models with dual curved swords I’d be interested in.)
Any recommendations on good Arab Castles/Mosques that would be right for this scale would also be appreciated. Cheers
