On the workbench - November 2013

Crumbs, are we that far through the year already. Well after a week away down in Deepst Devon, just off Dartmoor I had better get back on with my annual targets, so it has to be work on my Saracens. Having inspected the figures the intended army will just be a modest force, to be added to as I find suitable figures, Turkoman/Arab horse archers being the biggest gap, so my Tartars and Parthian lights will have to cover their absence to start with. So my plan looks like:

• Three 16 man units of spear armed foot
• Three 16 man units of foot archers
• One 4 man unit of horse archers
• Two 6 man units of Ghulams
• Plus commanders

In addition I'll also work on

• Three Airfix Cromwells
• The two  DAK Lorraine Schleppers with 150mm
• A pair of 2pdrs on Portees and a matching dismounted pair
• A US Radio truck, I was much taken by Phil's version at the D-Day+6 game so I'll be adding one to my forces converted from the Airfix GMC.
• Plus other remnants that seem to be encroaching on my workspace
