I keep coming back to this playlist for inspiration for my Arab/Andalusians. Those 3D print files from reconquer designs are very well done. Thanks for the heads up. By the way, the Gripping Beast Arab Heavy Cavalry set also has cloth covered bow arms on the sprue for more variety in you foot bowmen.
Very nice. I have bought some 'half' little beads to add to my Conquest Games shields to represent the boss. if that doesn't work, I will do what you have done.
Great job Martin!! Love the animation of these Vitrix Normans/Crusaders, looking forward to seeing the finished Crossbow unit, & the Saracens so colourful, Well done👍
These look fantastic - huge amount of character in your painting and basing. Great to see progress and a few Turks added to the mix - also giving me ideas for colour schemes of my similar era 15mm projects
Really Nice Looking Project Coming together here Ive been rallying together a Crusader Army The Caballero Guys are Stunning arent they .. Keep up the great Work there
Im a huge Crusades fan, so I'm really glad to see you doing it as your War of Roses collection is amazing. My own collection is 15-18mm and our group loves To the Strongest for our go to set of rules. Looking forward to your first game with these figs.
Looking good so far. I have quite a few of the Caballero figures for a slow burning El Cid project. They're easily some of the best historical figures on the market.
Great to see the progress. The figures are looking really good. I have some Conquest games mounted Normans too and was faced with a similar dilemma. My solution was to use some sticky plastic half beads from Hobby craft. They worked well as boses.
God damn, those Seljuks look amazing! And yes, definitely yes to the camels 🤣 Looking forward to seeing both command bases finished, the caballero models are ace
Lovely models fella. I have some Foundry Normans (love those) that I really want to start soon. Plan A is more of a Norman v Saxon thing rather than 1st crusade...but your desert basing looks good!
Fantastic work on this project mate 👍 Really enjoying watching your progress. Definitely going to be copying bits from it as I have a similar Arab and Crusader project to do in the future.
Martin, I hope I don't sound priggish but being from Texas and growing up with the Spanish language your pronunciation of Caballero is kind of nails on a chalkboard to my ear. The doule L in Spanish is pronounced like a Y in English. So, as if cabayero or as with tortilla = tortiya, Oh and if not too fine a point, the B in Spanish is more like a V in English or somewhere in between B & V. So, Caballero comes out closer to Cavayero. Love all your stuff.
Fantastic looking forces so far Martin really enjoying following this project so far it makes me want to carry on with my crusaders how does the Cabellero miniatures scale with the other manufactures? Thanks
Very nice, which exact transfer sheets were you using? They sell a bunch fitted for different model lines, I'd hate to try and steal this idea and then end up with a transfer sheet that's a millimeter the wrong size, lol.
Hi, i use bases from Big Red Bat bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all/bases The infantry bases are approximately 60 x 50mm (code FK&P13b) and the cavalry are 60 x 70mm (code FK&P6) Hope this helps
@@7thson726 thank you. Yes the Victrix ones, what do you use? My biggest pain is basing and I glue them onto the base and spread effect around it takes forever. It would be a million times easier to batch make bases and then glue feet on at the end
@@philjones3817 I use a Razor saw like this one Zona SA35/050 52-Teeth Razor Saw amzn.eu/d/cSeymQ8 Once done I use gel superglue to stick them to the base when the paste is about 95% dry so the feet sink and you get some extra grip

Always impressed with your commitment to crafting narrative with your basing.
Cheers bud, the more i have done that with my bases the harder im finding it to go back to how i used to do it 👍
excellent stuff....very inspirational as always! Love all the ideas and the thoughts that go into your stuff!
Thanks 👍 really appreciate it

Really pleased you're enjoying the content, lots more planned for the 1st Crusade 👍
Stunning painting on these Miniatures colours and weathering are superb.
Thanks mate 👍😁
very nice, nice to see something different
Cheers buddy 👍
Lovely work as usual. Each base looks great on its own and they work beautifully together. Really enjoying watching you work on this project.
Thanks very much, i find working on them as basea rather than units, somehow easier and more satisfying 👍
Love the way this project is coming along, so glad I dont have time for another project right now or I'd be considering this.
Haha theres always room for another project 😜
Very nice. I have bought some 'half' little beads to add to my Conquest Games shields to represent the boss. if that doesn't work, I will do what you have done.
I just saw another comment suggesting this, will be trying this 👍
Those Cabelero figures are amazing. You can almost feel the impact of the guy getting hit by the arrow. Fantastic painting and basing as well!
Thanks bud, the posing on the sculpts is just awesome
Cracking job on these units, they look so fierce...and superb, love the weathering of the shields and the clothes!
Thanks, appreciate it 👍
I really like the victrix models. Out of all the medieval miniatures those are my favourites.
They are definitely up there 👍
Great job Martin!! Love the animation of these Vitrix Normans/Crusaders, looking forward to seeing the finished Crossbow unit, & the Saracens so colourful, Well done👍

Thanks mate, will have a new update in the new year 👍
Really Nice Looking Project Coming together here Ive been rallying together a Crusader Army The Caballero Guys are Stunning arent they ..
Keep up the great Work there
Thanks very much mate, will do 👍
Great work! I love the First Crusade period of gaming; you have done a nice job representing the period. Well done!
Thanks very much, only. Problem woth research is it always throws something else up you want to make 😅
Gripping Beast miniatures are pretty sweet & you did them justice with that paint-job
Thanks very much 👍
Excellent work there, this project is really coming along now, looking forward to seeing you get them on the table in the new year.
Cheers mate, hopefully not to long into the new year and they'll be out 👍
Looking great, love the colorful robes; the crossbowmen look really clean - 3D printing has come a long way in a a short time
The print quality is fantastic, i can't fault them at all, its exciting to see where this may all go 👍
Nice to see the bloody swords ⚔️ nice touch
I like to add a little blood here and there and either make it look dried or fresh. I also occasionally add flecks onto the armour as well 👍
Great figures and nicely demonstrated. Thx
Thanks very much 👍

Looking good so far. I have quite a few of the Caballero figures for a slow burning El Cid project. They're easily some of the best historical figures on the market.
Spot on, i will definitely be picking more up 👍

Thats a great idea, will borrow that in the future 👍

Stunning work as always. Soooo tempted. Currently planning out next year's projects so this may go on the list. Maybe crusades at CrackCon 2?
Haha that would be awesome, maybe a seige 🤔
Fantastic as usual could you please do a video on how you do your basing please
Absolutely, I love making these bases its alot of fun 👍

God damn, those Seljuks look amazing! And yes, definitely yes to the camels 🤣

Coming together very nicely mate. Love the effect and look
Cheers bud, getting there 👍
Really nice work Martin.

Lovely models fella. I have some Foundry Normans (love those) that I really want to start soon. Plan A is more of a Norman v Saxon thing rather than 1st crusade...but your desert basing looks good!
Cheers Simon, glad you like it. The basing it making me consider other similar settings for armies as the bases are alot of fun to make 👍
These look great.
Cheers 👍
Absolutely epic work here mate. Youve done a great job on everything. Can't wait to see thei project progress. Keep up the great work 😁👍
Cheers mate, this project has really captured my imagination 👍
Fantastic work on this project mate 👍 Really enjoying watching your progress. Definitely going to be copying bits from it as I have a similar Arab and Crusader project to do in the future.
Cheers bud and thank you again foe the knights. Got plenty more planned 👍😁
Lovely looking collection 👍
Thanks mate 👍
amazing work
Thanks very much 👍
Fantastic figures mate
Thanks buddy 👍😃
Great work!!!
Thank you! :)
Conquest games do some good religious characters if you're looking for monks/pilgrims
Thanks, I'll check them out 👍
Martin, I hope I don't sound priggish but being from Texas and growing up with the Spanish language your pronunciation of Caballero is kind of nails on a chalkboard to my ear. The doule L in Spanish is pronounced like a Y in English. So, as if cabayero or as with tortilla = tortiya, Oh and if not too fine a point, the B in Spanish is more like a V in English or somewhere in between B & V. So, Caballero comes out closer to Cavayero. Love all your stuff.
Cheers, glad you enjoy it. Yeah I'll try and work on tjay, I've actually been asking my Spanish friend to coach me a little since making the vid haha
Fantastic looking forces so far Martin really enjoying following this project so far it makes me want to carry on with my crusaders how does the Cabellero miniatures scale with the other manufactures? Thanks
Cheers mate - they scale well with Victrix but he can print them at any scale to fit as needed 👍
Very cool! 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Smashing good job on all miniatures, well done! Now push onwards to Jerusalem and salvation will be yours. 👍
Haha i have plans 😁
Very nice, which exact transfer sheets were you using? They sell a bunch fitted for different model lines, I'd hate to try and steal this idea and then end up with a transfer sheet that's a millimeter the wrong size, lol.
I buy the ones on the Victrix site which are LBMS ones designed for those kits www.victrixlimited.com/collections/norman-transfers
What size bases do you use?
Hi, i use bases from Big Red Bat bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all/bases
The infantry bases are approximately 60 x 50mm (code FK&P13b) and the cavalry are 60 x 70mm (code FK&P6)
Hope this helps
From where do you get your irregular edged bases?
They are from Big Red Bat 👍 bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all/bases
Sorry if you've covered this elsewhere, but where'd you get those great bases?
No problem, they are from Big Red Bat bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all/bases
Do you cut them off of their little bases?
Which ones, Victrix yes 👍
@@7thson726 thank you. Yes the Victrix ones, what do you use? My biggest pain is basing and I glue them onto the base and spread effect around it takes forever. It would be a million times easier to batch make bases and then glue feet on at the end

Brilliant work on the Seljuk troops. My big fear with painting a Muslim army is having to paint all those patterns you have there..
I figured I'd do 50% of the unit with them, so that cuts it down to 7 or 8 per unit, that made things a bit easier 👍
That seems like a good way to handle it, maybe I should just take the plunge
No children's crusade units yet? Shame.
Haha no not yet, they will be coming...
