Bashkirs and Tartars

[OB]

I recently bought some Old Glory 15mm Bashkirs for my Russian Napoleonic Army.  More for variety and colour than for tactical reasons.  There are a couple of pics below.


It came to me that they would be useful for the Great Northern War too.  Then I realised I also had 3 units of Tartars for the Opium Wars and a couple of Ottoman ones.  Putting them all together I have enough for a Tartar Force in its own right.

The figures are from Old Glory 15mm and Museum miniatures if you've ever wondered what was available in 15mm for Tartars you might like to click the link.

Multi use troops from the Renaissance right through to the retreat from Moscow. Great work.

I've always wanted a unit of Bashkirs but sold my 28mm Russian collection before I had a chance to paint them.  Maybe I'll get to add them in 1/72!

Nice work on your 15s!

I've got a fair few Museum Tartars for By Fire & Sword, they have a lot of different packs that mix in quite well together, listed as Mongols, Persians, Tukomans & Turcopoles.

Generally pick up an extra unit each January in the 25% off sale that they always have after Christmas.

Thanks fellows.   Just another 26 of them to paint.

Yes the Museum Sale is a particularly good one.

Nice job! When you play a Talon and Claw game, please share! Cheers!

I will, it will be Russians versus Swedish.  First I need to play Mudki with Field of Battle and Killiecrankie with the League of Augsbourg's War of Three Kings.
