Build Your Crusader-era Islamic Army With Victrix Miniatures

November 11, 2024 by brennon

Victrix Miniatures released a new set of 28mm plastic miniatures for those looking to expand their Crusade-era collection. Whilst they have previously released miniatures for Crusaders from Europe, they have now added the basic Islamic Infantry & Archers into the mix.

Medieval Islamic Infantry // Victrix Miniatures

This set comes with enough bits and pieces to make forty-eight Islamic Infantry & Archers that can be used from the 7th Century to the 12th and 13th Centuries. They could be the warriors of the Middle East but also those from Spain battling against the Europeans at the other end of the Mediterranean.

As you can see by the sprue, you get access to loads of different head options plus weapons for spearmen, swordsmen and archers. There are also parts for making command figures when you're building larger regiments for mass battle games. It also adds a dash of colour (and sound) to your warbands for the likes of SAGA.

As Victrix has noted, the Spearmen can be made into Archers and vice versa. You can play around with this plastic set to make some very dynamic miniatures. You could very easily make a good army just using the miniatures from this set, especially with the command options. Alternatively, throw a few metal miniatures in as characters and away you go.

More of the Medieval range is on the way very soon from Victrix so watch this space!
