Thanks for these suggestions. I am already "talking! with Stuart @ Maverick and also scouring other sources. As nothing much else has turned up, I think I will follow your suggestion on the generic Arab / Berber line.
Sorry for the delay in doing this, not what I wanted to do, but have uploaded some photos at this link - let me know if accessible and I can then add other photo's if people are interested.
Hmmm. Even reducing each image to less than 500kb I still cannot add them....any ideas? If I make them any smaller you wont really see them! I will see if the Board Administrator can advise....
So I have managed to get the painted figures sorted into units and glued to bases which I will then need to dress with an appropriate material. The units all need flags / standards - any suggestions / pointers are welcome! I have some pictures, but I cannot even upload them singly as they are too la...
My Tangier Arab painting commission has been returned, ready to unpack and sort. Then will need to base. Since selected the figures and I commissioned the painting; the Helion book on Tangiers (by Andrew Abram) has been released. The book contains a Chapter (#5 "Know Your Enemy: The Army of Khadir G...
You are right about "nothing inbetween". Ref the Two Dragoons point, as I mentioned in point 3/:- From ... "Colonial Victoria's Enemies (Two Dragoons) such as VE13, VE41 and VE46 covering various Arab types >>> .... I will use the Ansar (VE13) figs for a unit of javelin armed skirmishers; and the Am...
So I finally got all the orders in and found some time this weekend to do the comparisons and select the ranges and models I needed. Here is a quick analysis of the figures comparing them to the English Tangiers garrison I have assembled from my existing (older) ranges of Magister Millitum and Irreg...
As I am trying to "recruit" the forces of Moulay Ismail in 15mm and against the FOG-R Army lists for Arab States/Desert Arabs. This has thrown up some conundrums:- The availability of figures that might represent these forces is somewhat limited. I also want to be able to potentially play with these...
Thanks, but IMHO the Turks don't look enough like Moor-ish arabs (although some were reported to wear the fez caps etc) and the Arabs don't have later weapons (it was reported that they carried a mix of spears/lances or muskets)
Hi Barry, thanks for this. How would these troops best be represented figure/model wise? Under BLB 2nd Ed. I guess horse as Non European Tribal (p.9) and foot as Tribal Infantry (p.10) and formations (p.25), manoeuvre (p.27) etc In terms of "dress"; are you aware of any appropriate model ranges (in ...
I didn't see a reply to this. The Tangiers "period" has always looked like material for a mini campaign, and I was intrigued when coming across a FOG-R listing for the forces there. It is on my list of future projects (along with Sedgemoor, the Anglo-Dutch War in Caribbean etc)- I would be intereste...
