I originally bought the Sally Forth Market with Tangier in mind, so I needed some North African
civilians to inhabit my little part of Tangier. The figures are from a variety of manufacturers.
Perry minis, from Their Crusade range, Irregular minis and some Indian civilians doubling up as Moors from Eureka minis ( a cheap and great buy from ebay!)
And here they are in the same market as my last post.
With 1 change?
Out goes the beer tent and in comes the Weaver selling his colourful rugs and carpets!
And no, none of them can fly!
Yes I know it does indeed look a tad too green and lush in the background
but hey ho, just look at the carpets instead, which were included in the market set from Sally Forth.
Looks fab. Needs a massive sword wielding Arab in black and Indiana Jones
ReplyDeleteHa ha I think you're right Martin!!!
DeleteWonderful additions Ray, guaranted atmopshere...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, Glad you like 'em!
DeleteRay, this will be interesting to see how you employ his massive souk into your games.
ReplyDeleteI have a plan already Jonathan!
DeleteLooks great Ray
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteThey fit great with the village, green and all!
ReplyDeleteCheers Alex!
DeleteThe carpet stand...Another good Idea I´ll pinch
ReplyDeleteLooks good deosn't it?
DeleteGreat looking middle eastern market!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Glad you approve Iain!
DeleteA fine collection and they look great milling around the market. I love the carpet stand.
ReplyDeleteIt's my favourite stall to be honest.
DeleteGreat batch of Middle Eastern civilians Ray - one of the advantages of that part of the world for wargamers is the scenery and inhabitants look pretty much the same from the 13th to the 21st centuries - I have used the same buildings in 18th century India or N Africa, 19th century Sudan and 21st century Iraq and Afghanistan!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right Keith, its very handy for the wallet eh?
DeleteAwesome stuff, Ray. There's a lot of work on show and plenty of eye candy. Definitely conjures up memories of Raiders Of The Lost Ark for me.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, I know what you mean Simon.
DeleteLove the Tangier flavoured market - great work. Good looking rugs 👍
ReplyDeleteDon't think they'll keep your feet warm though?
DeleteFun fact: did you know that adult men of Morocco like to walk the streets holding hands? It is a custom there, being friendly in that way.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't know that Dez!
DeleteWhilst fit for Tangiers, these civililians (and the market) are excellent for many other areas of the world and across many eras of history too - great additions Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Joe and yes you're correct!
DeleteNice addition to the market square! 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew.
DeleteLove em Ray
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave!
DeleteNice work Ray! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks M'lady!
DeleteGrand collection of terrain, Ray. A scenario all unto itself.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more Dean!
DeleteThey may not fly, but they are magic looking carpets. The rest of the market is fab. too.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Cheers James, glad you like it.
DeleteWonderful work mate.
ReplyDeleteI was convinced I'd already commented on this....just the voices in my head again eh??
Haha!
