And so it begins, the first recruits of what will end up a 1000 plus figure Turkish army. Building it to cover SYW and Napoleonic periods. 400 infantry (100 were not sent by supplier, chasing them now), 18 Cavalry (to start. Over 500 in the plan), Commanders and artillery. 15mm Figures by Old Glory. Janissaries for example. Will be based for Shako II rules.

The first unit of Janissaries. Being classed as a large unit these have four bases and not the usual three.

I have recently been given some Janissaries (enough for a skirmish
project) I will follow this thread with interest.

Here are the first Battalion of six Nazim units. I know most paint them with black webbing, but as most of their equipment appeared to be French supplied (much to the disgust of Britain), I thought white (and it looks nicer in the figs). 15mm Old Glory based for Shako II. Also some more artillery.

Two captured Russian guns, Foot and horse.

Great topic and figures!
