AHPC11 - The Chamber of Challenge - The Armoury - Spahi of the Porte

 


Its Chamber of Challenge time once again and  I've just been dropped off at the Armoury by Sarah 
the Sorceress. 

The Armoury: Paint a figure, a vignette or unit which is armoured - plate, steel, iron, ceramic, chain-mail - the choice is yours.


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

    1. I do indeed Lawrence, they're all painted and just need baseing.

  11. These look splendid and though small in number, I suspect they're very effect in combat.
