Dervish Cavalry Are Coming


AIP Mounted Dervish Cavalry 



On a whim, I bought one box of Armies In Plastic 54mm mounted Dervish warriors just to see what they looked like. The horses struck me as being overly large, but why not give them a try.

The box contains five poses, of which two are carrying rifles (one firing and one holding gun) and three have wicker shields and melee weapons. The mounted firing poses is in the "useless or silly pose" category, but the rest of the poses look nice.



I painted two of the figures yesterday and was really pleased how they looked painted. I bought four more boxes today as a result. The horses, while big, look very elegant and graceful and they were a joy to paint.

    2. I want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.

    1. Me too! There's nothing like mass on the table top. 24-30 figures will look nifty.

  3. That would be a terrifying sight! A whole unit would be a wonderful addition.

  4. Elegant. Cavalry is my favorite to command in games other than than early WWII clunky and fast tanks.
    Well done Jim,
    Bill P.

    1. Bill, you should paint a unit of Hussars. I have two that I don't need that I will give to you.
