Raiding the Dusty Wastes
Giftmas Delivery!!!
I got my SAGA order of starter Arabs, the core rules/Age of Magic and I am pleased as punch. The Arabian Nights (Knights?) will be worked on piecemeal as I get some flying carpets printed and I get a better handle on a uniform element for a paint scheme. The shield transfers from Little Big Men studios work very well and require little retouching. Plain water worked well enough as I don’t have immediate access to my hobby stuff in storage. Color matching th shield designs has been solved with weathering the edges.
At the moment I’m inspired to hop over to some historicals and get medieval Koreans to run as a fantasy force under the leadership of the wise lord Gyeon Chul-moo atop his giant eagle. This idea might work better with a dragon or maybe a tiger. I could swap this leader option out and have the lady Song Eun-Kyung on the back of a pheonix. I need to read more folktales for that yet but the idea seems to feel right. I have a lot more ideas that might work but I will figure out model builds as time progresses.
stick with the turbans as your uniform element, I went with white for my levies, blue for the warriors and an imperial purple for my hearthguard. That way I can be as un-uniform as I like with the troops or “Dolly Mixtures” as Lloydie calls them
I was thinking that was going to be the key for the force. I have some masking material to make them look like proper shemaugh that I’ll experiment with. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some reasonably priced Arabic calligraphy on commission from Fiverr and have it worked into custom banners made with the same color and motif.
