Another bunch of minis picked up on TMP or ebay that either aren't what the seller thought or were not IDed at all. Would appreciate any help in IDing the manufacturer and what they are meant to be - Part of a lot of Persians (an others) - link Miscellaneous -
Shot contains left and right or front and back views. Upper left horse archer has a Mike's Models look and Hun or Mongol as does the far right second row figure. Left hand and middle on second row look Parthian, can't find manufacturer. Third row horse and rider listed as Parthians, but definitely not Minifig. Cataphract with camel from same manufacturer. Right hand third row archer figure maybe Burmese? Bottom horse and riders to right listed as Sassanid, no manufacturer (look later to me). Top right and bottom left figures no idea. Again, any help appreciated. Have a couple more to photograph and upload, probably tomorrow. |

On the bottom row the horse & 4 riders to the right are from Roundway. The two on the far right are RKOT2 – Ottoman Heavy cavalry with mace and the other two are RKMA02 – Cavalry with laminate armour with lance. --

the bottom horse looks like a minifigs cataphract horse , the rider with spear upright and shield is 100% minifigs , as are I suspect the other 2 horse riders on the bottom line . |

The top left 'rude' horsemen are Mikes Model/Essex Cossacks. |

Appreciate the responses. Should have checked after posting and seen that the first image didn't show, trying again -
Back to the upper image – rather thought the Sassanids looked a bit too modern. And the horse is stylistically similar to some Roundway medievals I have. Pity all the manufacturers don't have pictures up, although it makes for a large site.
Now the two on the second row right – shield and spear Mongol or Cossack? Have a number of those. Figured the fellows with carbines for Cossacks, not sure about the archers or these.

The one-piece castings look very Freikorps 15. |

Thanks – I'll take a look at my Oscans and see how the horses compare. |

Correct Henry, from their Moghul range. |

Still no takers on that very distinctive armoured camel? |

That camel is apparently an orphan. When I got them the cataphract to the left was one of the riders supplied – as can be seen he is a mate to the figures to his left who came with the armored horse and were labeled Minifigs – they aren't. Actually, while the eight camels are identical, the riders included this figure and some Donnington Parthians as well. A real mixed bag and none of the riders quite fit the camels – legs too narrow. |

I think I used to have that camel model 30+ years ago, could possibly be Garrison |

Something to look at at least. Thanks. |
