Having lurked for a long time its time to show my daubings first up the Khan of Bokhara,s Guard







From my Basmachis/army of Enver Pasha.

[Johnno]

Very cool!
Have a really elite look to them.
Who's the manufacturer?

[Old-N-Busted]

Thanks, the basic body is the copplestone British muslim troops  with the hat filed down to look like a fez and the putties filed off to form boots . The second unit is the same base but with a head swap from our own Cuprum. The uniform information and colours also came from Cuprum,s forum, well worth a look

[Johnno]

I thought they looked like Copplestones but you've done a fair amount of work!
Again, well done

[cuprum]

Great work!
But Bukhara army wore jacket instead tunic. I would have removed the side slits and made flaps of his jacket... 

[Old-N-Busted]

Thanks for that Cuprum i will remember that if i make any more.
Now for some of my Turks

It has been awhile, but now meet the most badass basmachi this side of Bokhara  Al E Katt, the self styled Warlord of Trashkan. And his bandits. Trashkan is a small town somewere between Khiva and Tashkent far enough off the old silk road not to become famous but close enough to be a good base for a band of basmachi. 



                    And now the boys














                           A bit of extra firepower






                   
             All good hero;s require a nemesis and Al e Katt has one of the best Commissar Dibbleov the so called "advisor" to the emir of Dumpsta an old pal of his.




Hope you enjoy only 24 mounted left to paint now. BUSTED

[juergen c. olk]

Love all the colour that your army brings to the table.
