The #FirstCrusade succeeded on #ThisDayInHistory in 1099 in its long #SiegeOfJerusalem. On entering the city, #Crusaders showed what piss-poor #Christians they were by the #MassacreOfJerusalem. Thousands of Muslim, Christian, & Jewish residents were murdered & holy sites defiled.

Afternoon everyone 🙂 Still away but I managed to get these sorted before leaving. Some more Arabic additions to adorn and populate your builds 👍

Continuing the 1st Crusade kick, I finished off some more Arabic spearmen. A unit of cavalry to go and I should be ready for a game 😊

Mix of figures for this lot. Don’t know where any of them come from though.

Some more figures for the crusades project done. A unit of Arab horse and some unarmoured Normans and that’ll be enough for a decent-ish game 😊

The single worst of the #RhinelandMassacres of German Jews early in the #FirstCrusade was one of several led by #CountEmicho. After taking a gold bribe from the Jews of #Mainz to spare their lives, his Christian mob killed up to 1100 innocent people on #ThisDayInHistory in 1096.

Still on a bit of a crusade kick and have been painting some figures early in the mornings before it gets too hot 😬

Mix of old and new Footsore I believe. Movement tray from the catalogue.

Following from the OSHIROblog tutorial there are new Arabic buildings in the catalogue along with some mashrabiya in the additions section. There's also a little gallery at the bottom of the buildings page 👍

Here’s a little, unedited sneak peak of an Arabic building base I’ve done as a tutorial that will be posted tomorrow.

Almost got a couple of decent sized forces to go with it 😊

The first #Crusaders to leave for the #HolyLand — the #PeoplesCrusade that left before the formal armies of the #FirstCrusade — set their brutal tone by engaging first in bloody #pogroms against European #Jews, like in the #WormsMassacre of 1000 Jews on #ThisDayInHistory in 1096.

Austria's oldest roof truss stands in the Wachau region, in the municipality of Rossatz-Arnsdorf. According to recent investigations, the wood used in the church of St. Lorenz dates back to 1095/96 - the starting year of the #FirstCrusade.
