There are 4 mounted variants in total, two with open hands to take either a rifle, jezail or spear / lance.

Next up are the Tuareg command pack which will complete the Tuareg range  - the plans are to offer a battle box to go with the relase of our 1st building - a French Foreign Legion 'BlockHaus' - more details here (https://www.facebook.com/exotures)

TA06 - Mounted Commands - Consisting on Tuareg Prince on camel and a Tuareg elder on foot  with a kneeling camel.

The 'launch' was pushed back to 16th Feb, however if you contact Mike @BlackHat I sure we can do something for you ;-)

Kind Regards

I can wait. It's not as if I would have got around to painting them in the intervening time.

Thanks, Mark.

I have been on the Black Hat site but the Tauregs are still not available for sale.  Any idea when they will be available?  I am very keen to buy some.

Would anyone be able to tell me, or better still, a comparison photo of the tauregs with Perry WW2 mini's, particularly Foriegn Legion.

Quote from Bill - based on the Perry sculpts that I have, plastic and metal and a few other manufacturers. They slip seamlessly into the mix. I just cannot make a direct comparison with Afrika Corps.
