Its Chamber of Challenge time once again and I've just been dropped off at the Armoury by Sarah
the Sorceress.
This unit of 6 x Spahi of the Porte have jumped way ahead of the queue. These originally were going to be painted up right at the end of the Challenge if at all???
But....
I needed a figure or figures in armour for the Armoury and wanted to paint something up I'm actually going to use, rather than stick in a box, never to be seen again for a few years.
The figures are from Dixon Miniatures and match in height wise quite well with Warfare minis who will make up the majority of my Ottoman force.
For my force the Sipahis of the Porte will be an Elite unit using a D10, so even though they're small, they should throw a big punch.........Poles and Imperialists beware!!!
(BTW, I haven't any Poles or Imperialists, yet?)
60 pts for the Sipahi
20 pts Bonus for the Armoury
Scored some big points. They are very colorful.
