Does anyone know of a company that makes a Renaissance era 28mm Arab or Moor with a musket? I'm looking for figures suitable for the Battle of Tangiers, 1680. TIA. |

It is likely that with a few exceptions, most troops fighting the English/Portuguese and Spanish colonists looked more like Ottoman irregulars than robed Arabs. |

I used a fair number of ottoman and barbary pirates for my renaissance north African forces. A few of the guns had to be changed, but most are generic enough musket that they worked. |

Artizan Designs has a pack of Moroccans skirmishing with muskets (flintlocks?) in its March or Die range. If you're fussy about historical accuracy, only one of the four poses appears to be depicted with a hooded garment, and it's a cloak rather than a djellabah. There's also a command pack that might do. There used to be a few suitable mounted figures in the Redoubt March or Die range too, armed with lances or muskets and wearing hooded djellabahs. |

I used the Moroccans from Artizan like Henry said above for my Tangier figures, they work quite well. Here's a pic

I see that there be Tuaregs in the mix, yarr (for some mysterious reason I feel impelled to address you in Piratese), which be not truly appropriate for Tangiers. |

For those actually wanting Barbary pirates, another option is to have a look at the 'Long Decline' section of Old Glory's Ottoman Turkish range, which contains a few packs that might work – presuming you need that many figures and don't mind the primitive Hinchcliffe-style sculpting. |
