Seljuk Turk heavy cavalry

I recently painted these Seljuks for gripping beast and I have to say i love them!When I originally started collecting for my Crusades project I jumped on the Perry miniatures site and pressed buy buy buy! without looking else where. I would of robbed myself of some great looking figures, that paint up real nice if i hadnt of grabbed a few of these.
My lead mountain has just grown with a unit of 12 of these bad boys and 2 units of heavily armoured Ghulams from musketeer miniatures. I now have a decent sized force, all it needs is for me to get painting!
 
 









Figures from GB shield transfers from LBMS. Basing to be done by the Beast.

    Lovely work, and very dynamic. Good luck with the rest of them, they'll look great en masse.

    Really nice painting. I was thinking of painting up a few ancients, and Gripping Beast were amongst the manufacturers I was considering.

    This is tempting me even more!
