Pics of  two Turkish levys advancing along with First period Greek regular,
The Turks are based on a contemporary mezzotint of the period although the heagear resembling a fez is from 1826.
The Greek is based around an illustration from Miniatures Wargames on the GWI , as well contemporary descriptions.

I will pass your kind comment on to the manufacturer/sculptor who I am sure will be pleased.

just saw the pictures on FB, I will definitely be getting some of those
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Excellent figures for an oft-underappreciated period. Definitely have my eyes on this range  ;)

Currently in the offing are another two Greeks, one standing firing, and a swordsman , these are being added to the range as a commission by a fellow enthusaist. Once these have been sculpted I will be add some Ottoman levy swordsmen

Here are a couple of further greens, these two were commissioned by a Greek gameir in Athens and represent an irregular swordsman who can double as an officer in addition a standing firing irregular wearing the typical Greek jacket with loose sleeves
