I have painted up a bunch of Ral Partha and RSM Balkan Auxiliaries as foot Bashi Bazouk.
Who has the molds and produces the old Ral Partha cavalry figures, and are they on the Web?
And who else makes similar colorful horrible on the field cavalry?

And just to complete my army… Did the Bashi Bazouks have artillery?

Iron Wind has (or had) all the old Ral Partha stuff. If not on their site might be worth emailing them.

That's what I thought but actually Great Endeavours link page down. Unfortunately no picture of either the foot or mounted Bashi Bazouk

I've got some of the old Ral bashi bazuks from Great endeavors and I like them. There is only one mounted pose and one dismounted pose and both are carrying rifles. I can take some pics if you need.

John,
I, too, have some of the mounted bashi bazouks I bought from Ral Partha. They are waving their carbines in the air with their right hand, a pose that makes it easy to cut away the gun and replace it with a sword.

I may have spare Ral Partha if you need some. There was no BB artillery – didn't really suit their role.

John,

I just accessed the Great Endeavours Ral Partha Colonial page without a hiccup. As Commander Carnage stated, the infantry and cavalry are in one pose each but as Grelber said, cavalry conversions to sword or spear are doable.

I bought some cavalry and infantry direct from Dale Kemper at last year's Colonial Barracks. He had plenty of product and has even introduced new poses to the Ral Colonial line.

I checked out the Great Endeavors site. CHEAP!
Hmmmmm.

I've pre-ordered and picked up New RalParta/Great Endeavours figures from Phillip Kearnan of Outlands of PA at both Historicon and Fall In.

As far as I know they were only mounted and foot unit. Thank god, no artillery.


Strangely enough, the ones I just picked to are for a Bashi Bazouk infantry unit. The last time you wrote about Bashi Bazouk I dug into the lead pile and came up with enough for a 6 man mounted unit. After this, please no more topics with Bashi Bazouk in the title.
