Moor Camel Cavalry

Mainly because it´s assumed they didn´t use camels in combat unless it was forced upon them, there aren´t many Medieval era Arabian / Moorish camel bods in 1/72nd..but I like the idea and they could be employed as a mobile archers unit, some needed creating.

The first 5 of 8.
The top halves come from the HaT El Cid Almoravid Infantry set , the bottom halves from the Airfix  Arabs (Bedouins) set.

  2. Very cool! Camelry finds its way into my Reconquista Muslim army.

  3. Christian Ethiopians, Axumites and such probably used them as cavalry according to some sources .
