Dismounted Mongolians

[Mosstrooper]

Thinking of painting up some of the Copplestone Mongols for Back of Beyond , anybody any suggestions for interwar dismounted figures for them ? , have been looking at Medievial figures of Mongolian to add rifles too , but no success yet , any ideas ?

Interesting question!
I had the same some time ago, looking to make some small party for gobi desert exploration. So, I am interesting to hear about it.

I was particularly looking for a dismounted falcon bearer (female better), and a bow hunter, but ....  and concluded to the potential  use of some tibetans.

The best idea I've had so far is Curtsey Miniatures Infantry  Spearmen , which I hope come with seperate weapons and shield, then add a firearm.

What about TAG?

Lovely, but look at the size of their fists!

[Poliorketes]

You're right, but as the goal is to give them guns, why not guns with hands?

Going to Sheffield Triples show next weekend , so hope to veiw some of these ' in the flesh ' at the show . Have some TAG  Aztecs and they match well with Foundry/Coppplestone .

I have hundreds of Curteys Mongols but the TAG ones will fit much better height wise to Copplestone.

Thanks for advice think I will go with the TAG figures .
