This week's meagre output. 2 units of OG 15mm Janissaries with a few Essex, and a unit of Anatolian Militia (Battle Honours ACW Zouaves). I was planning to paint about 36 Cavalry from "By Fire & Sword", but they are not great sculpts, so primed up some more Bazi Bazouks (for the 18th C.)



Battle Honours


OG


Janissaries on Campaign


More Cavalry. Was going to paint horse in oils but the figures don't deserve it!

If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

This week's output. A unit of Bazi Bazouks using 15mm Old Glory, a couple of Mini fig Afghans and some "By Fire & Sword Figs. 24 Irregular Cavalry from "By Fire & Sword", but they are not great sculpts, but will double as a Tartar/ Cossacks. All based for Shako II.






I rushed these through to finish them, as they were not great to paint!

15mm Ottoman Army update. Progressing well atm. Here are two weeks worth. various makes Old Glory, Fighting 15s, By Fire and Sword and some Mikes Models (these were already painted, from Ebay, just gave them a black wash and rebased them). Also found 3 undercoated French Generals and finished those off.

The Sultan will be pleased. Last weeks 15mm Turkish additions. The Cavalry are an ebay purchase (thanks Don McHugh), and were rebased and matt varnished. I may repaint them at some point, but I like the "old school" look about them. Another unit of Nazim. The Ottoman Cavalry so far on the green baize mat.  All Based for Shako II.

Museum Miniatures have some useful pieces, the cavalry are one-piece castings. Not much variety in their spahis, but they have lots of light cavalry (not listed as Turks - you need to rummage through Huns, Mongols, Persians, Arabs etc, but if you pick just one pack from each you get a good variety of figures)
Gary, Glynis, and Alasdair (there are three of us, but we are too mean to have more than one login)

I usually rummage through the codes of horse-archers each January (the sale has a really good discount) to add to my 17th century Tartar horde, (you can get away with a lot for an irregular mob of light cavalry) but their actual Ottoman cavalry look to be much earlier. I'm hoping they will get some revised/updated sculpts soon (since a few of the other ranges are getting refreshed)
