LF manufacturer of Djiinis

[Tomsche]

Hi all,

For a project involving 1001 nights and the likes, I`m looking for a manufacturer that produces typical `arab` things of that era.  Got BTD already for flying carpet men, now for the infantry...

Djinn`s, arab style ghosts, fellos comming out of lamps... in scale 28 / 32mm heroic `infantry bloke` style

Anyone any suggestions?

Steve Barber has some figures, including a djinn coming out of a lamp and a market set, but I suspect they are 25 rather than 28mm.

Thats no problem, models can be raised with some tinkering on bases, and I can`t find any definite proof of how big a djinn is in real life 

Thanks for the link

I'm sure I've seen all manner of Djinn and a sinbad on flying carpet at Ral Partha's site - http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/
There's loads of goodies in the fantasy section.

I didn`t even know they still existed, thought they went out when TSR DnD blisters got cleared everywhere

Mega miniatures makes a range.

Reaper has some useful miniatures: treasures, djinns, heroes...

Alkemy makes some beautiful arab dressed catmen.

Helldorado has one of his factions as arabs, with an astounding djinn, and heroes.

And Otherwold makes a very nice djinn coming out of a lamp.

Thanks for the replies all, my Paypal doesn`t like you that much, but I do

Mega miniatures makes a range.

These are rereleases of the models Joseph Ochmann sculpted for Metal Magic.  Old (and so on the small side), but much nicer than the stuff Mega commissions itself.

I ordered 10 of em for a starter, considering they are 50mm and small, they should fit in quit well

Hi,
Mirliton has put back on sale the miniature of one of the old Grenadier's Djinn-Efreti, under the name Efreti.
See the section "Fantasy 2528mm" on the Mirliton site - page "Creatures".

This is the picture of this miniature on the Mirliton site:

For our Saracens army I has purchased one and it is very fine.

Can highly reccommend the Hell Dorado Saracen range for Arabic warriors and a lovely Djinn.

Problem is that with the Hell Dorado knackers, it would cost me an arm and a leg to build a whole army though (as in, around 70 troopers and speciality units).

Here are my suggestions, I hope you find them helpful.

Perry Brothers has a line of Muslim cavalry in their crusades line.
