Better with pics :








Consider me officially interested. Would some of you learned gentlemen happen to know if these figures are compatible with the Brigade Games Ottoman range ?

And out of sheer curiosity, does anybody also know who sculpted these new Minifig releases ? The surface detail is crisp and the faces top notch.

They do look nice. They look like Crusader Minis from Mark Sims...  :?

Arthur - the Brigade and Minifigs Ottoman Infantry are certainly compatible. I don't know about the cavalry, or i suspect more importantly, the horses.

Bonjour,

Splendid looking figures and have quite altered my old and rather jaded image of MINIFIGS!

Cheers,

Paul

The figures themselves are very nice. What breed of dog are they mounted on ?

they are very nice figures, I have some of their infantry and use them with Brigade Games and Perry's Bashi Bazoks
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.

lol

That’s partly why they make me think of Mark Sims’ sculpt. The horses look like the one Crusader Minis used before they switch to Ebob (?) ones...

The figures in the range work well as opponents for Steve Barbers range of Greeks for GWI

These do look good and I agree with comments on the sculpting. I'm currently reading a rather excellent book on the Ottomans in the 18th and 19thC and will be plundering these for the army I intend putting together.

Hopefully they will do a couple of variants waving swords
