Happy new year the Crusades continue

Hi gents,

Happy new year to you all a few pics of the Crusade collection I have now picked up the terrain from TM but will have to wait until I get the lighting right to show this off properly.I did want to show this off before Christmas but after reading about the sad passing of Captain Richards whose blog was one of my personal favourites I couldn't bring myself to post until now I will really miss his creativity.

   
This small village is part of the large set up,
 
One of my favourite units of 2014
 
Villages like this were pillaged at will,
 
Each side as bad as the other
 
An appeal for a jihad

The Sultan gave the go ahead to preach the holy war.
Looking for volunteers
Many answered the call
On the horns of Hattin
Outnumbered
In 1187 a fatal blow is delivered on the Horns of Hattin
This will lead to the 3rd Crusade
The Carrion have their prey
A huge amount to come this year so drop by when you get a chance
Best wishes
Willie

    Huh, I was going to say that!
    Still, have a good 2015 and more power to your elbow with the collection.

    Have to say it's great to see a new post from you. The pics are great, as always, and I really can't wait to see your finished Harbor and Walled City of Acre, which I've glimpsed over on the TM Terrain Facebook page, truly come to life with your figures spread across its full expanse. I predict that will be one of the highlights of 2015 as far as Miniature Wargame blogging is concerned.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR, Willie, and thanks for so many wonderful posts!
