AHPC11 - Ottoman Commanders - Trent Miniatures


What? More Ottomans?
I'm afraid so!
These two figures were part of  my Xmas pressie from my wife and 4 daughters.

To be totally honest I hadn't planned on painting these two figures up, but I seem to be pumping figures out at the moment, so why not? Also they should take me 10 points short of the 2000 points mark which I didn't think I'd get to let alone plan it!


But these are not Warfare Miniatures? They're Trent Miniatures!
Trent make a small but growing Early Napoleonic Ottoman range.
On the left is a Mounted Aga of the Janissaries
and on the right is a Mounted Janissary Officer.


I've painted up these two figures to use in my 1683 Ottoman army,
Naughty I know!


They're slightly bigger than Warfare Miniatures but still fit in nicely with the rest of my Ottoman force.

They'll add a mere 20 points to my total.

  1. Very nice figures and a lovely paint job Ray. Some armies, like middle eastern or Indian, you can mix and match periods like this without it being noticeable ...these will work fine for the earlier period.

    1. Amen! Even the cat's had them chopped off, so is technically female?

  4. Very nicely done and for such things as commanders it doesn’t really matter about fitting in 😁 some of Trents new pieces look very nice

  6. Nice work Ray. I've always wanted a Napoleonic Turkish army so will keep an eye on this emerging line.

    I had a wee look at the rest of their Ottomans... there are some nice useful bits and pieces there.

  11. Wonderful figures and their slightly larger size shouldn;t matter as they need to stand out as commanders imo. The difference in itme period is irrelevant if they look the part imho
