From RayR: 28mm Analusian Cavalry (122 points)

From Ray:

Another one of those long forgotten tucked away units...

12 Gripping Beast Andalusian Cavalry to add to my El Cid army.

I've tried to paint these like the rest of my El Cid army, its quite difficult painting down???

I do have another of these cleaned up and ready for a lick of paint, but I don't think I'm going to get the time to start them before the end of the Challenge, never mind!!!

Another excellent medieval Muslim entry! Beautiful work Ray, and, bestill my heart, in the proper scale no less! ;oP Is that one of your banners? Its very, very nice.

This cavalry of the Faithful will provide Ray with 122 points, allowing him to slip past Tamsin into 7th place. Again, lovely work Ray!

From RayR: 28mm Dark Age Archers (80 points)

From Ray:

It looks as though I've had it as far as regaining my title, to the 25mm warmachine painters above me, so I thought I better get some 25mm figures painted too. 

These 16 Gripping Beast Spanish archers have along with tons of other stuff, been sitting unloved in a drawer for far too long. I last painted an El Cid figure way back probably around 10 years, the other Rejects are always moaning that we never game with them, so I thought I'd give them something else to moan about, another new unit of them.

They're a basic but usable paintjob, I did contemplate giving them an ink-wash or dip, but as my other Spanish figures haven't I left it out. 

More 25's to come!!

I didn't realize you had an El Cid army waiting in the wings - to echo the rest of the Rejects you'll have to break them out of storage and get a game in, especially since you have some spiffing new archers to add to the mix!

These bowmen will give Ray 80 points. Nice one!
