What 15mm models would be best for the Nomad Horse Archers troop type? I am thinking of Essex miniatures or Old glory15s. Where would these Nomads originate from?

You're looking for Turks.
Seljuq ranges are your best bet - my personal choice being Outpost.

khurasan, great figures but not much variation.

I must warn you about Outposts minis in that range. I found them very dissapointing. At least order a sample first.

They do appear to be a bit of a marmite range.
Mind you I'd usually suggest getting a sight of any range before buying if at all possible.

I am completely lost on that metaphor. marmite?
I use the seljuk range for the ghilmen adn bedouin and Central Asians for the khurasani and they they are great.

It is a spread you put on toast, or sandwiches. Most people either love it or hate, but for some it depends how hungry they are. If a 6mm and 15mm army are all you have to fight each other its better than starving IMO. hence if I am hungry I will eat marmite sandwiches.
