The invasions of the fundamentalist armies of the Almoravids and Almohads from Morocco into Spain affected the balance of power for ever, alternately strengthening and weakening the Muslim states of Al-Andalus. There are many superb figures available for these warriors, under various headings – Moors, Berbers, Almoravids. Many are interchangeable with Andalusians.
