Title: Figure Identification
Post by: the_inquisition! on August 07, 2025, 04:53:52 PM

Hi All

I bought a mixed lot of “Zulu war British” and have identified Empress, Black Tree and Old Glory (I think Old Glory - it’s really hard to find pictures of specific miniatures!)

The only models I am not sure about are the below - they seem to have some kind of deep lines or groves on their helmets or they might be wearing some kind of head wrap.

Any help with this would be appreciated  - I just want to know how I should paint them!

They look like WWI Ottoman Turks to me, maybe Irregular?

Brilliant - thank you :)

I guess I have less Zulu War miniatures and more WW1 models!  lol

 Always amazing how FAST people are able to ID these mystery figures.
