At Salute 2014, from the Foundry stand I bought three packs of Mameluk Infantry, part of the Napoleon in Egypt range. Can someone point me to a painting guide for these figures please? I bought the figures because I like the look of them, without a thought to painting so I would be very grateful for any guidance or tips. |

The only Mameluk Infantry I know of were there Fellahins, Palestinian, Maghribis, Naplouse Mountain Tribes, Maugrabinns. The Fellahins were the local levy raised by the Mameluke. They had no uniforms. They wore white and off white clothes and turbans. Meccan's: Same as the Fellahins except they had green turbans. Their hair and beards were dyed red, indicating a Pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. Bedouins: Same as per the Fellahins: Some are described as dressed all in black. Now as far as the Ottoman Armys uniforms there were manny. If you would like a copy of my "Uniform Guide"
"Napoleon's Campaigns in Egypt and the Holy Land" drop me an e-mail at badbobalbino@aol.com and I will send you the info I have compiled as well as OB's and the rules I have put together. Robert henry |
