My Ottoman Army
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2018 11:00 am
I have for a long time fancied an Ottoman force in 25-30mm scale to provide alternative opposition to my SYW Austro-Hungarians. A part of the oft-shelved plans for this army has been to have a crack at sculpting some of the figures for myself and casting up some of the numberless Turkish hordes! Despite a certtified lack of talent when it comes to pushing modelling putty I had a crack at it and have just finished a quick paintjob on the first unit of cavalry.
The imminent prospect of comparison with Clib's sculpts for the period which are bound to be excellent is of course a bit daunting. At least I can say I got mine on the table first! (Also started first to be fair - around 2014!)
(Before anyone gets all hysterical about IP, let me make it quite clear that the horses are not cast by me but are Warlord 17th Century plastics that I in no way take any credit for.)
