Just ordered a couple of 28mm laser cut counterweight trebuchets for my Ortoqid/Turkish army of early 12th Century. But who makes suitable figures to use as crew? |

Which manufacturer of trebuchet did you select? |

Irregular Miniatures would be a good place to start looking for your trebuchet crew. |

I'm trying out two. One from Dark Ops here: link
and one from Warbases:https://warbases.co.uk/?product=trebuchet-28mm-scale |

I have the Warbases one.

link I never did find crew for it but I did make a cow carcase as ammunition. |

I've yet to compare the two but the Warbases arm doesn't seem long enough for me(looking at illos on the Net) so I may tinker with it to make it longer. My turkmen usually went to war with a sack of wheat and a sheep slung over one of their ponies (according to al-athir) and went home if no loot had appeared by the time both were eaten – so little chance they would sacrifice a cow in so wasteful a manner. Frankish heads, on the other hand . . . . The same writer notes sieges with up to 24 trebuchets in 12thC Syria so the more the merrier. ps. hope you've now fully recovered from your TIA. I had one about 7 years ago. I'm probably taking the same tablets as you and its never come back. |

@1ngram Am as good as I'm going to get after my TIA. Lost a bit of stamina and memory has taken a bit of a bash but otherwise normal. GP is still unhappy with my BP. Big test comes in February when I hope to drive to Vapnartak in York, about 4 hours for me. |
