Gripping Beast Timurids as Early Moghuls !?

[Byblos]

Hi !

Do you think we could use GB's Timurids as early Moghuls !?

Wich minies could i use to make Moghuls early arquebusiers !? (I think they are called Bunzuqis !?)

Gripping beast is fine for cavalry and use their central Asian auxiliaries
Check Wargames foundry Indian Mutiny

I think they would be fine from the time of Babur until mid-late 16th C, say early part of Akbar' s reign.

I agree... I have been sniffing around for some second hand but they are hard to come by and- as you point out- pictures of them either painted or raw are impossible to find.

Well , with OG it's like with Redoubt : some minies are good (very good sometimes) , some are not that good ! So i wouldn't like to go to OG at the moment

(As an exemple , i like their Sengoku Jidai Ashigaru , but not their Samurai)

I'm currently made a lot of research on the subject : the idea is to make the beginning of the Portuguese empire in Red Sea & Asia ... (Between 1500 & 1525)

I have a lot of books from Genevieve Bouchon (A french specialist) and from Sanjay Subrahimanyam ...

I have the Foundry Conquistadores & the TAG Spanish (It's sufficient)

I would like to do Muslim & Hindu Indians , with some Ottomans , Mamluks , Venitians allies ...

I'm looking at Foundry (Indians , Balouchis) , TAG (Ottomans) , OG (Indians antics bowmen) , etc ...

I already have a lot of GB Timurids , maybe i could use some of them ...

I have to find / choose minies that could be OK for the beginning of the 16th century ...

As an exemple , i think the FOUNDRY Indians with muskets or with swords (From Indian Mutiny by exemple) are not very good for that , i think i could choose the Baluchis instead ... But in this Indian Mutiny range i think the Indians spearmen are OK ... The cavalry seems to be OK too ...

This will be a long work project , and at the end i would like to have some buildings , and some boats (I have already a big carrack (90 cm long / 1/50e scale) and a caravelle)

Indus Miniatures does some minis that would be suitable. Their Hindu Militia is good for early 16thC until the 18thC.  as is their irregular cavalry. Most of their range is better suited the 18th and 19th centuries.
