Who makes suitable figures for Zanj in 15/18mm. I'm looking for Sudanese swordsmen and Arab bows and hordes.

Anyone else? Arabs too? I last had a Donnington force twenty, maybe thirty years ago and they were pretty rough even then. Is there anything amy better these days?

As it’s an army of revolting slaves, a varied mix of almost anything vaguely Arabic, preferably poorly equipped, would possibly fit the bill.

Alternative Armies still produce the old Tabletop Games (TTG) ranges. They are available singly, so you can really have plenty of variety in your units. www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-dark-age-and-ancients-isarus-rangeCarlL mentioned Irregular Miniatures - they are also available as individual figures. As has been suggested by others above, this army will look good with lots and lots of variety. Cheers, Geoff

I used Irregular Arabs for the bulk of my Zanj. Filled out with Peter Pig's fine stone throwing figures for the Ps, and with some Gladiator Miniatures / Fighting 15s Feudal peasants for the horde. The peasants aren't really Arab looking, but they paint up very nicely and were a good price.
