My new project has finally been started!
25mm Ottoman Turks and Yes they're for Donnybrook!
These are quite obviously some Command and standards, who I thought, would be a great start.
The figures and flags are from the most excellent Warfare Miniatures.
To be total honest I'm not an expert on the Ottomans at all so back in 2019, I asked Mr Hilton to work out some Donnybrook army lists for me, which he did.
Then he offered these lists out for customers to buy.
So these 5 figures are the start of my Donnybrook, 4 point Ottoman infantry army.
Here's what my army will be made from
Ottoman Infantry Force
Unit if Elite Jannissaries armed with flintlock muskets 4 models
Unit of Drille Tufeckci musketeers arned with matchlock muskets 8 models
Unit of Recruit Segban musketters armed with matchlock muskets 12 models
Unit of Recruit Irregulars - Anatolian or Balkan with improvised handweapons 12 models
Easy one for the points in this post.
5 x 25mm figures = 25 points
Very bold with the flags!
ReplyDeleteNice and bright!
DeleteVery nice and the flags are superb
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil!
DeleteLovely work there Raymondo! I wondered when you would succumb to the lure of the Sublime Porte!
ReplyDeleteArrrggghhh!
DeleteVery nice Ray, and timely for me. I'm just putting together some Ottomans for BLB too.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!!!
DeleteVery eye-catching command, Ray! Love the colorful clothing and flags.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, glad you like them.
DeleteCurious, why the hex bases, just for a different look or is there a plan behind it?
ReplyDeleteFigures look good.
Its just to differentiate the command figures from the normal fighting bods. Sometimes when there's a lot of troops on the table they're hard to see. This way they stick out like a sore thumb.
DeleteRay,
ReplyDeleteOttomans for Donnybrook! Who would have thought? Great looking start and definitely something different. I love the colors and who doesn't love flags? Super start to a new army.

ReplyDeleteCheers Phil.
DeleteA great start Ray. Beautifully done. Will you be including cavalry in the list at any stage, especially as the Sipahis are so colourful?
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan Lawrence.
DeleteExcellent Ottoman Command Ray!

ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

Cheers Jason.
DeleteSplendid work Ray. Very colourful dudes!
ReplyDeleteThey liked a bit of Colour, the Ottomans.
DeleteOttomans ! Who'd have thunk it ? They do look very good though and they'll make for a very colourful army!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do!
DeleteGreat work Ray - 25 points in the challenge PLUS the start of a new project - its a win win for Ray!
ReplyDeleteOh yeh!
DeleteNice! A new project? Even nicer!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking command figures Ray...
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
tres belles couleurs ray! bravo
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your Turkish filth er... flags! No seriously they are great. The Ottomans are a great army to collect - the Balkan Sekkans were alternatively used as mercenaries (dead-eyed marks with jezzails) or cannon fodder (mostly the latter I suspect). Regards, Doc
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed. Something to be proud of!
