Nottomans 4

OK, so four years ago I conceived the idea of doing an ersatz Ottoman army to go with my GNW Russians and Swedes. I would use Risk figures, which would limit how close I could get to actual Ottomans. But I could produce something with a suitable Eastern vibe. Two years ago I finally completed the line and light infantry, and started on the a cavalry and artillery.

Over two years later I finished the artillery and cavalry. I put off starting them for most of that time and did the actual work in just over seven days. Because that's how I roll.

Anyway, here they are - three units of heavy cavalry, four of light cavalry and three batteries of guns.

The light cavalry. I kept the base figure for one unit, but with the others I either modelled them with lances instead of teh sword, or game them shields, or gave them both.

And I did much the same for the heavy cavalry.

Finally the guns. These were done exactly the same way as the Swedish and Russian guns, but are maybe a tad more colourful.

And here's the full army. It was conceived for use with Simplicity in Practice, and consists of four units of line infantry, four units of light infantry, three batteries of gun, four units of light cavalry and three units of heavy cavalry/dragoons. Naturally the army will work for any late 17th/18th century set of rules I play around with.

The final stage is do do two or three commander figures.
