I am no longer a Donnybrook virgin. Percy Kirke, my hero figure for the Tangier's garrison is finished. There are a few more pics on my blog if you want to take a look. link

What are you doing for the Moors? I've always wanted to do Tangier but could never find out much about the Moors' armament, appearance and organization. |

I've got loads of Gripping Beast Dark Age Moors already painted up, so with a few addition, I'll be using them. I do need a few figures with muskets. In the Donnybrook rules they've used Ottoman Turks, so I may have to do a little search for them! |

If you are starting from scratch you could start with this range. link They are true 30mm figures, but they will go well with today's 28mm figures. |

If the price puts you off you could order on of each and match them against the various opponents offered for the French Foreign Legion. |

Perhaps the new plastic 'Arabs' from Gripping Beast are a good start? Just bought Donnybrook yesterday and I have to admit it's been years since I've been so inspired by a book! The Bashi Bazouks from the Perry Sudan range?
link Possibly some of the Poontonier Barbary pirates range?
link Newline Design is also bringing out a new range for Napoleon in Egypt and some of the Egyptians might fit in. THe Ottoman range from Brigade will certainly be useful
link I feel these are the most suitable. |

Not sure how accurate this is but gives a good idea about the forces involved link |

Thanks for that TW link! That definitely gives me some useful info. Like yarr68, I already have a ton of GB Moors, but I wasn't sure how usable they would be. |
