Wonderful looking figures! And while dark blue is indeed the color associated with the Tuaregs, these otherwise fin paint jobs are a little too uniform. But that's just being picky for picky's sake. If their Legionnaires look as good, as they must, this will be a line to contend with. TVAG |

If we could see more spear or bow armed camel riders and foit, these could happily be used from ancient to colonial. |

Why would you produce Tuaregs and Legionnaires under a license? Is "Exotic Adventures" a rules set? If so, why would you want historical figures tied to a particular set of rules?
Nice figures, by the way! |

Cyrus: It's the actual sculpts that are licensed. |

These look really good. Were there any good-sized clashes between the Legion and the Tuaregs historically? I'm remembering only tiny little skirmishes, but this is from reading Douglas Porch many, many years ago, so I'm probably wrong. It's pulp anyway, so I suppose it doesn't matter! Oh, and they look like nice, single piece castings, and I always like that… |

No, Daryl – the largest force the Tuaregs could mass numbered in the hundreds. If you want large actions you have to look to the fringes of the Sahara or other parts of Algeria or Morocco where the Arab/Berber tribal forces were often entirely horse-mounted. Beautifully sculpted and – importantly – realistically proportioned figures… but where are the dismounted figures' shields? |

@Rhoderic III and counting,
Thanks for clearing that up! |

They are certainly fine looking mini's. They should fit with most similar period ranges right? Darrell. Just Add Water Blog:
