Typical figures from Essex: a joy to paint but a little static. I bought these on a whim as I’m working my way through the infantry options for the various Mongol medieval armies.
The Field of Glory Tatar list contains a battle group of 4 Naffatun with grenades so I knew I wouldn’t be using these but still couldn’t resist.
The figure design is a direct lift from Ian Heath’s WRG book on the Crusades. It is figure 60 on page 93 listed as a Mamluk Engineer with Midfa (1280-1290).
As an aside I checked to see if Ian’s book was available on Amazon. It is, but only as a paperback with the cheapest copy costing £50.00! Heaven knows how much my pristine hardback copy is worth.

Thanks Ray. That's some praise indeed as I know you are a big Essex fan.
Nice and clean work here!
You'll have to find a way to get them into some action.
There must be a way but I don't see it at the moment. I suppose it doesn't matter too much as I enjoyed painting them.
