Showcase Gallery: Araby

Presenting my Araby army, finally painted! Some of you might remember seeing an older version of it from 2014; all models have been repainted since with a more proper army shot now. All painted to tabletop standard, because I don't have the time or patience to bother with all that pesky layering and highlights! Model brands are in parenthesis for each picture.
