III/63b Ghaznavid (2)


1002 AD - 1186 AD

DBA 2.2

15mm Essex Miniatures

Army Composition: (Gen) 1 x 3Cv or El, 1 x El, 3 x 3Cv, 1 x 2Lh, 2 x 4Sp or 4Bw, 1 x 4Ax or 2Lh or El. 1 x 3Bd or 2Ps, 2 x 3Bw.

This is the final "add on" army for my Ghaznavid which is now a total of 3 x DBA Armies. I have two III/63b and one III/63a lots of elephants and cavalry to play with, I use most of my DBA-DBM armies for Basic Impetvs and Command Colors Ancients solo games too and one day/weekend I will post some of solo games with pictures~ :o)

Histroical Enemies: Seljuks, Ghurids, Indians and other interal fractional groups.

  1. Terrific stuff Phil. The general in the howdah will pack a punch, especially if he is rated brilliant. That is a possible factor of 9 with a brilliant stroke. Not much is going to stop that.

    Essex seem to have a much broader range for Ghaznavids than Forged in Battle, as they do for most things I suppose. Really terrific work and I'll be plundering this and you other posts for a few more ideas.

    1. Thank you Iain, I enjoy painting Elephants, a bit cumbersome to put the model pieces together, as you do with chariots as well, and its fun too completing the work! cheers!
