Here is a Kublai Khan command stand for my Mongol army. Figures are by Curteys Miniatures from 1st Corps Miniatures. They have an excellent Mongol range, the figures really have a lot of character. Below is the famous painting of Kublai Khan Hunting painted in 1280 by Liu Guando. One of the attendants, in the middle at the bottom of the painting, has a leopard or cheetah on the back of his horse with a leash and muzzle. I thought it would be more likely to be a snow leopard but it does look like a cheetah in the painting.

Beautiful work again sir 👏
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
Deletelovely painting! Curteys Miniatures sculpts paired with 1st Corps Miniatures casting tend to produce really expressive ranges? Hail Caesar or Lion Rampant rules sets will really come alive for your Mongol army..... hit-and-run tactics? :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, they do have some excellent and unusual ranges. I haven’t really found any rules yet that work well for horse archer armies.
DeleteLovely work on some very nice figures, really well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, I must finish painting more of my Mongols.
DeleteIs he about to a stately pleasure-dome decree? Lovely figures and painting!
