Painted 28mm Central Asian Turcomens

[Durando]

Here are some Turcomen from Tiger Miniatures that I have had painted for an 1879-1881 campaign

Nice job. I would be happy to field these fellas on my table

very nice...with your painted minis you probably incited me to buy some of those figures....the only problem could be now to purchase  some foes of those central Asians...the only possibility i saw, for the moment, are the Askari Miniatures Russians but they are, if you are living in Europe, almost impossible to buy as their postage fee is absurd...

Love the patterns on the jackets.

Irregular Miniatures have some suitable Russians in the Uk

Thanks Durando..I already know it ..but irregular minis are quite small ...maybe Tiger would, in the future, complete the range also with Russians in Central Asia

Figures for the Russo-Turkish War (the 1878 one) are good for Central Asia for this time period.

Eureka Miniatures has Russians; they are available from Eureka Miniatures UK (these look much nicer in real life than the photos on the website would suggest):  https://www.eurekaminuk.com/collections/russo-turkish-war

Outpost also has Russians:  http://www.outpostwargameservices.co.uk/

Thanks Will..I ll certainly be considered choosey and I cannot deny that I’m 😄..but I know both ranges and their Russo -Turkish War Russians minis sport this heavy blanket across the upper body that didn’t appear, except this last one , in many of the paintings about late Russian Conquest of Central Asian kannates , that I will not like to paint and that I cannot stand 😏...sorry that s my only childish reason according to which no Russian minis, except Askari, could be my cup of tea..but in the meanwhile I really appreciate the minis offered by Tiger thanks to the great work of Durando.

Of course, italwars, it's important to get figures with the characteristics you want!  Obviously, I'm not bothered by the blankets (or possibly greatcoats?), but if that's a dealbreaker for you then you must hold out for the figures that you need

[Durando]

Italwars, I have spoken too Tiger Miniatures.......Watch this space....not promising but hopeful
