Many, many years ago, on a stormy (or maybe frosty, probabaly
just rainy) while playing WhAB up at Milton Keynes, a man walked into
the club, plonking two or three old fashioned LARGE toolboxes on a table
and declaring "I dodn't need these any more!" and walking out. One of
our clubmates followed him out, and asked whether he wanted anything for
them, he firmly declared no, and left. Never to be seen again!
We
divied out the boxes, and as we were building armies for the 'El Cid'
suppliment, a quick roll-off on a d6 each, I got the last choice of an
Arabic type army, which on further investigtion, turned out to be
Ghaznavid.
So, a quick order to Gripping Beast bought some Black Guard, generals/characters and standard bearers andmusicians. Then I rebased them for WhAB and used them for Almoravid/Almohads.
Many moons later, I rebased them again for MeG is 28mm as we are practising the Magna varient (and if you read my last battle report, without much success.).
Reading through the Ghaznavid list, I needed Dai Lami (the famous Welsh Bhuddist) unit. Quick order to Footsore and Little Big Man for sheld transfers. I had six figures, so eight extras needed paintsing (and some repainting so it matched my style).
Suspect Essex swordsmen and a few Gripping Beasts bulk out, with at least one GW figure too!

Flexible, so front rank close order, back rank as loose.
Allowing you to switch formations
Like this!
CinC, lost his sword somewhere!
Edging choice was deliberate at the time, but I might go back and paint it
Armoured nellies, there are more of these to come, at least six, plus generals
No credit to me on the painting here

Iranian/Kurdish lancers
Charge - suspect these are minifigs?
Flexible cavalry (hence the twos and threes)
Twang
Heavy lancers
Could possibly also be Sassanids?
Skirmishing archers
Elephant escorts
Archers that did so badly!
Twangy!
Spears with archer figure on each back rank to show 'integral shooters'
Some with double drummers, as a reminder that they used to get the bonus for this in WhAB
Black Guard
Again, with enough bases to either be flexible or close order
Foot generals
