Title: Old School Ottomans
Post by: Sunjester on 26 July 2016, 10:48:38 AM

I recently was given a box of 25mm Renaissance figures as a freebie (this generosity was coutesy of a chap who had been storing his old figures in a cupboard since leaving college).

I'm turning them from a pile of loose miniatures in a cardboard box into an army on the tabletop and documenting my journey on the Tring Club blog http://tringwargames.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/old-school-ottoman-army-at-tring-club.html (http://tringwargames.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/old-school-ottoman-army-at-tring-club.html)

So now the cavalry are finally finished and I've made a good start on the infantry.

They've come out very nicely - this really shows off the value of new basing.

They look very nice!
Basing is very important I think.

I've just unearthed my old 15mm minifigs late Seleucid army, and am thinking of adding some extra. I still have some unpainted in a box somewhere.

Old School seems to be back to stay.
Succes with your little project!
