Looking for Pulp Arabs

[coggon]

Fully robed, and carrying submachine guns? Any suggestions?  One of the players in my group is insistent on playing one of the Bedouin tomb guards from the "The Mummy"  So far the best idea I can come up with is to buy an open-handed Artizan or Castaway figure and slap a n smg in in his hand. 

Any suggestions appreciated

Have a look through the Atrizan thrilling tales there are a few armed arabs there. Also someone recently released some rifle armed arabs cant rmember who though

Depends how picky you are on weapon types...  I use TAG Taliban for my  Nrallat (Tallarn...) desert forces:

Possibly you could go for these from blaze away.

Nice!  I think I can use these for my desert games here!  Are these 25s or 28s..anyone know?

Also look at Brigade Games. The WWI range has a pack of Lawrence of Arabia style arabs sculpted by Mike Owen (Artizan). They go well with the Artizan Thrilling Tales ones too.

Pulp Arabs with submachine guns seems a bit counter-intuitive (ie. not like something that's likely to get sculpted) so I think you're pretty much forced to convert them, if you want them.

[Col.Stone]

maybe some redemptionists from the necromunda range could be converted, they have SMGs and robes atleast

Thanks for all the replies.  Roderick, you're right-it doesn't seem anything likely to be sculpted soon.  Fortunately for me, the 'player' is my 13 year old son, and if I give him a week or two, he will want something else

I converted a few gunmen from GW's Harad plastic spearmen.  Of course on a couple I couldn't get the hands right so I replaced them with tentacles.
