Ottomans and Napoleon in Egypt?

[carlos marighela]

For what it's worth the Minifigs Ottomans are listed as 28mm and not as part of their 25mm ranges which have a dedicated listing. I understand they have branched out considerably scale wise since I last bought them.

Regarding the Dixon range I acquired some samples last year and they are much smaller than more recent ranges. Emperor Toads Emporium may have some useful French and do produce a small range of nice-looking Mameluke cavalry.

Yeah, I got a few samples of the Dixon's range and they're tiny, not compatible with any other ranges I own.

Will be getting the Perry Ottomans, but waiting a little until more skirmish poses are released. Unless I can convince someone I know to join the project, it'll be an all combatants project.

I'm hoping maybe a TFL supplement for Napoleon in Egypt for SP2 will be released.

Buried deep in Andy Grubb's Britannia Miniatures small 28mm Napoleonic range are some Mameluke cavalry, unusually for modern times cast in one piece (so rider and horse combined). Slightly old-fashioned in looks, but modern sized and full of character. Only a few French infantrymen to pit against them though.

Those look pretty good.  The revolutionary wars stuff is good too.  They have a deal on for the Mamelukes today.

Are they still in business?  They didn't deliver my last order or answer my enquiries.

Doh!  Of course they do.  My memory is worse than my Search-foo.  Thanks for the reminder though, this thread will at least serve as a list for others now.  Those Matchlock figures are nice but sadly there are no variations.

And they are huge. Don’t mix well with Brigade, Perry or Trent Miniatures...

Good to know. Saved me a quid there then.

That is disappointing

Of course there are also the 28mm old glory ottomans in their “decline….?” Range. There are great pictures of this range used for the 1806 russian-turkish war

I’ll do some comparison pics when I’m back from my hols...

Ah yes!  Another one I knew about but forgot.  Thanks for the reminder.  The pictures on the web site are not good but I have seen the figures painted up nicely.  I think there was a big battle on the Lonely Gamers blog.  That now appears to be gone.  It was on Elite Miniatures AU more recently but that seems down now as well.
