Next up for me are more of my new Donnybrook Ottomans.
My second Ottoman unit of the Challenge are 12 x Segban Recruit Musketeers armed with Matchlock Muskets. The Segban units were not a fully formed unit and acted mainly as light infantry for the Janissary Orta's
For those of you unaware in Donnybrook a Recruit Infantry units has 12 figures and throws D6 to hit and for morale, so as pretty as they look they're not the best unit on the board.
Segban units usual wore there own cloths, as they were not issued any uniform, but just for ease of use in games, I've given them all a light blue hat and green waistsash. I've kept the rest of their cloths pretty subdued, greys, browns and dull greens.
Points mean prizes so my Segban should earn me....
60 points!
They might not be the best fighters but maybe they can dance up a storm.
ReplyDeleteHaha.
DeleteVery nice looking unit
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteNot as colourful or effective as a lot of other units, but they look the part of a pretty poor unit and of course one should have the dross along with the elite in any army.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately yes.
DeleteNice work on thee Ottoman musketeers, Ray. I like to have units in similar dress too - for ease of IDing them during gaming.
ReplyDeleteYep, just makes life easy.
DeleteRay,
ReplyDeleteYour Ottomans are looking really nice. Love those flags too!

DeleteIs the fellow on the far left, front rank a self-image Ray? He seems particularly chuffed with the shot that he just got off, as you are (understandably) with these fine fellows!
