I'm starting to get a Wind and the Lion kinda feeling.

BTW these mounted tribesmen are beautiful sculpts and I am lookinng forward to seeing the dismounted figures with their curved swords, long knives, and ornate rifles.

Could these tribesmen also work for the Rif war? They do look like gorgeous models and paint up nicely to boot from the looks of things.

Yes, we are working on packs of foot warriors armed entirely with Remingtons (almost the universal Riffian firearm until Annual disaster when they captured loads of Mausers) and separate packs armed with obsolete firearms, as well as with tourbans, tarboush, etc. If you want to use them for c. 1900 (French conquest of the Algerian-Moroccan oasis, first French campaigns in Morocco) you can mix all together, while selected codes will be perfect for c.1909-1925 Riffians.

extremely nice..at least some figures that'aren't only "generic arabs" but instead beautifully researched Moroccans in jellabah and berbers.....but , pleasee could we hope to have also packs/sets of only/all swords/daggers armed foot rabble to built up units as required by TSATF scenarios

Just ordered the Arab Cav.
Too nice, not to order.
They maybe the thing that gets me back to painting colonials.

Messieurs

What are the chances that a brand of miniatures would decide to make 28mm Moroccans to confront their French Foreign Legion range, and release news on the eve of a France-Morocco in the World Cup semifinals? ✌️

Our current series of Arab/Berber cavalry miniatures in 28mm to face the French Foreign Legion just expanded with four new codes of Moroccan on foot and a pack of mounted and foot casualties. The new foot warriors wearing turbans and caps are armed with Remingtons, but we also included a pack carrying obsolete firearms such as Moorish muskets and American Springfields from the ACW.

Insha'Allah!
