This is less so with more specialist troop types and looking at the lists for the Granadine armies circa 1450 hand-gunners jumped out of the page as just that one.
After trawling the net to see if suitable figures could be found, as only four will be required. No such luck.
So what to do? Well Gripping Beast produce plastic Arabs and the Perry Twins produce plastic Late Medieval Mercenaries which include hand-gunners. Like many things the answer is simple once found: kit bash.
The results are below and with a bit of milliput here and there these will do the job nicely.
Overall, very pleased with these and and think that they will fit in well once finished.
Cheers for now

Nice, so are they going to be used for 15th century action?
That is the plan!
Nice, maybe add in a few odd helmets and armor for the more well to do and mercenaries. Of course that might rewire more surgery on the figs. :D
I say, completely missing the guy in the far right.
Might add a few hand weapons and shields to the final bases as well.
Smart move! The mercenaries set is one of my favourite plastic kits, these chaps look great!

Very clever kit-bashing, Ross! Would never have thought of using the WotR Merc handgunners for Arabs!
Thanks Dean, imagination is the key to problem resolution.
Cheers, Ross
