15mm Arab Conquest

ARAB CONQUEST 622 AD -660 AD

  

Completed more add-on Arab Conquest units(elements) for DBM and/or DBMM
Under DBMM Muslim swordsmen - Irr Bd (O) @ 5AP 16-48 elements may be regraded as Irr Wb(F) 3AP

I decided to mix the figures with swordsmen and spearmen

In DBM BK3:

16 elements x Wb(S)

8 x elements Bw(O)

4 x elements Ps(O) slingers

I have about 90 Arab Conquest figures to paint Cavalry and some Infantry but putting on hold for this project, to busy painting my Ancient Iberian Spanish units.... Iberian Celtiberians posting coming soon..

cheers!
