I saw that Curtey's makes some nice 25mm Tibetans. However, not nomadic horse archers. I saw an illustration once upon a time that looked almost like a mounted horse archer in a nepali cap. Does anyone make a specific figure or one that could be used in 25mm? Thank you. |

Check Essex. They have 25mm Tibetian range. |

I checked Essex. It looks like the have HC and foot archer only as part of the Tang range. |

That begs the questions: did nomadic horse arches all had nepali caps? Is that cap from 19th century and therefore no medieval range has figures like that? Can other figures without that particular cap can be used and therefore companies do not make specific "Tibetian nomad archer" figures? Did Tibetians have native nomadic archers or did they use mercenary nomadic archers from "other ranges"? |

The Dhaka topi is late 18th c so not seen in our period. I'd agree with madmick, his Mongols are fine. bow sword lance light armour box quivers … |
