Turko-Mongols??? A short-lived but interesting empire: link

Originally, much like the Gok Turks of whom they were an offshoot. In 15mm I'd use Outpost's Central Asian Turks, and/or Khurasan's Central Asian City-states. See warfare.ga/6-10/Tarim_Basin.htm for the Uighurs in the Tarim Basin

Outpost's 15mm Central Asian Turk range includes Uighur horse, with pictures in the gallery for reference. Listing: link Gallery: link

I did a Central Asian City-state range for Khurasan in the last couple of years. To be honest I am not sure whether they'd be suitable, as I was working from a brief rather than my own knowledge. EDIT; GurKhan already mentioned it.

Note that in army lists in the WRG tradition, specific Uighur (sub)lists are for the latter Tarim Basin ones; the Uighur Kaghanate would be covered by a generic Central Asian Turk one.

As the Digital Archive of Toyo Bunko Rare Books has added hi-res colour photos, I have added some new images to my collection of frescos, statues, etc from the Tarim Basin. E.g.: Warriors on a Manichaean Silk Painting from Chotscho {Khocho} Painted scroll with a Uighur Face Defence, Chotscho Capture of Bimbisara (portrayed as a Chinese Official), by Soldiers (portrayed as Uighurs), Kumtura Eight Kings of the Relics Story, Maya Cave, Kizil A panel with a horseman and camel-rider from Dandān-Uiliq at Khotan and others. Plus better images of grey-scale photos in these books. Druzhina 7th Century Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers
