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.

  3. 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!
