DBA IV/45 Mamluk Egyptian 1250-1517AD

Screaming Mamluks!!! Here's our fearsome Mamluk Army, mega heavy on the Cavalry, so lots of mobility. Two elements of Light Horse with the option of another gives an impressive TEN bases of Horse Warriors. We've used these in some of our battles & they have performed very well.

Really nice paint job. The banners are a great touch, are they homemade?

Cheers BOb!

The flags are a mix from all over. The main theme was to have them yellow, a fav of the Mamluks. There's some FREE from Fanaticus & some Little Big Man that I got as a job lot from a game show.
Cheers
