17th Century Ottoman army
« on: February 04, 2021, 10:39:46 PM »
I thought I'd post some shots of the Ottomans I have been painting (during various lockdowns). Mostly TAG, but some Perry's and Gripping Beast minis as well

Love to see Ottomans, especially when supplemented by clever plastics repurposing!

You've heard that purple was considered an unlucky colour for battlefield wear?

Fabulous Ottomans!  :o  Very nice paint jobs, and love all of the kit bashed units.  Very inventive, especially using the Zouaves.

I’m sure I have an Ottoman army somewhere in my future and this is all great for inspiration and kit ideas 👍

Cheers, I sent a link of your Polish army to one of my gaming buddies who is working on the same army (so my Ottoman's have a genuine battle opponent.
