Hi Gents
I am after some Barbary Pirates in 25/8mm - have you any ranges in mind that would fit with Copplestone figs?

Hmm I think that Eureka do some as do Newline in their colonial range (the chap who bought Montgrel minis)

I have both ranges and they go well together. I also use Brigade Napoleonic Ottomans (by Hicks), some Copplestone Darkest Africa Arabs and some Old Glory arabs. There are plenty that can apply for the dirty work of a Barbary Pirate  ;)

There are a few figures in the Foundery pirate range. Also the Baluchis in Arab dress work really well to.

Thanks Gents

The Foundry Pirates might not be a good source as there are only one or two figures in a pack of six. Unless you want the other pirates it's probably not worth it. Turkish azabs make good subs for Barbary pirates too.
