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. |
