Slitherine

At the club last night I offered to sort out a load of figures from a player who has decided 15mm is not for him. As a result I have 6 boxes of figures to sort. Most of them are not too bad to identify but there are LOADS (40+ bases) of light foot archers, all the same figure.

I think it is an Essex miniatures figure. It has long floor length robes, a pointy hat with a thick fur rim and is shooting upwards at about 30 degrees. I thought it was an Azab and looking at the Azab range it is close but not quite the same.

Any suggestions or do I need to take a photo to make life easy for everyone?

Try their sudanese archer from the 700+AD ranges.. AEA18

If not that look at the EMED range.

Typical, there isn't a photo on the Essex site

Why do you need to know? Just put him in an army where he looks right. Do they look even a little bit like sarmatians???

Post a picture

this is much more fun guessing - its a Russian, no a Saxon, no an Arab .........................

I previously posted a picture with the Essex archer in the background here: viewtopic.php?t=8525&start=20
Here's a (blurry) better shot I had:

I think that is the chap.

Now what can you do with 44 bases of Sudanese light foot bow??

Hammy, I just added a picture to my first post. As to using them, I see Dragon Painting Service sells the Old Glory version as 'Arab Archers'

Christian Nubian ...

CN would be perfect for them and they just might be halfway decent with MF Sup bow....
