Equites Mauri Feroces
A further if some what tardy addition to my third century Roman project, although technically I am ahead of the game as I got the figures as a retirement project. With the government changing the retiring age, I am told that my new retirement age will not change, who believes anything they say? I thought I may as well start now while I'm able. The figures are by A and A Miniatures, the shields are Foundry with LBMS transfers, now the unit and shield design are highly speculative as they are from the Notitia Dignitatum, but the alternative was to make one up, besides I like the name and shield design.
Great to see the project moving forward! I do like those Moors a lot Phil!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, next legion underway
DeleteExcellent looking figures , Tony
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony, A and A figures are a joy to paint.
DeleteThey look great and one cannot beat Impetus basing!

Very true, even with only a few figures on the base like these. The story it tells makes up for it I think.
DeleteVery very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray.
DeleteLovely unit, the figures and base look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, looks so much better than light cavalry drawn up in a row I think, I am hoping to squeeze my cataphracts into a wedge formation. Should be possible the ones Adam does for Aventine are less bulky.
DeleteThey look splendid, excellent job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, really enjoying painting these. Back to my serious wargaming roots.
DeleteThank you for sharing this, but I am native to the area where the Mauri lived in northern Morocco, and we have never been Africans with black features.
ReplyDeleteWe have been of the Mediterranean race for thousands of years, we belong to the Iberomaurisian race with haplogroup E-M81 of North African Caucasoid phenotype.
I hope you have some success in trying to persuade gamers that there isn't just one racial type in a place as big as Africa! I've been trying to make people get it right for decades....
