"15th century Ottoman handgonners from plastic parts" Topic

I had some parts over from a box of Perry Miniatures plastic Sudanese, as well as some handgonne-arms from the Perry Miniatures plastic mercenaries.

I'm not really into the historical accuracy of Ottoman forces but with some added green-stuff the end result works for me: link

And the first progress pictures together with a possible name for this troop type: link

I would appreciate comments on how to improve future versions of these.

Very creative! Albanian skirmishers in Ottoman service?

Thanks -- right now I'm thinking that they could be either Ottoman handgonners as mercenaries in Neapel or Anatolian troops serving in Hungary or the Balkans (yes, perhaps Albania!).

But since I don't know much about Ottomans yet I haven't pinned it down. Its primarily fun to do something for the 15th century other than the Italian troops I'm mostly working on.

I dont know where they would fit in the Ottoman Empire but they are some the best and simplest conversion work ive seen here , well done

cheers Tom

Aren't they just generic Azab types? Anatolians more than anything else I would have thought.

I appreciate it Tom. Phillius -- good to hear a vote on Anatolians and Azabs.
