Thanks, Chick! They're real beauties, but I'm not sure that they fought on horseback during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78. Anyone got some info on that? |

Nycjadie, first choose 'Sudan-British' in the "select a range" menu, then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the resulting menu, then double click. |

Anyone know if there will be dismounted Bashi-Bazouks? And how suitable do you think these fellows would be for use as Caucasusians (Caucasians? Caucasusites? The fellows that followed Shamyl around beating up the Russians in the 19th Century)? |

I think they are totally wrong for the Moslem Mountaineers. The trousers are too baggy and the jackets wrong. Better to work from Cossack figures in cherkessa -- that being taken from the Mountaineer traditional dress in the first place. |

They look like they could be used for Turkish Bashi-Bazouks for the Crimean War, with a few head swaps using Turban headdress (like from Redoubt's ACW head pack range) for variety. |
takes another stab at building a more perfect flight stand.
