"Greek War Independence Sept planned sculpts" Topic

Just to give everyone a heads up as well as to give those of you the chance to input….This is what I am planning to commission Steve Barber to sculpt during the remainder of August and Sept….the list might change lol!

Greek Captain
Two regular Turkish infantry wearing the quilted Mameluke hat as per army reforms
A Battalion Tarella soldier running at trail tatty uniform barefoot
Egyptian regular Officer

Hmmm more to buy.

This has always been a peripheral reading period for me. With the introduction of figures, it is now on my radar screen.

Shipka, great news of these commissions, however, any chance of more different Balkan state troops whose "uniform" / dress did not change much since the Napoleonic, / 18th Century? I would be very interested in those as I and quite a few others wo0uld like to increase the diversity of our Ottoman Napoleonic forces and allies of the Napoleonic Russian and French (Greek islands, Balkans, etc). :)

The Greek/Albanian advancing was based on the illustration in the Osprey pub on Napoleons Balkan troops , there will be Greek Islanders

….. Allow me to recommend some figures to cover the Greek Maniates (or Maniots) of the Peloponnesus, arguably the most bloodthirsty, remorseless enemies of the Turks (and often other Greeks) in all Greece.

Also a figure of Lord Byron to go with the Missolonghi swamp tactical terrain module ….. ;-)

Maniates are in the mix, as we have had a couple of requests to date and my compatriot in the project has I believe a scenario he wishes to undertake which will require them. There is a growing list of personalities which are all WANTS and will come in time, for now we are both concentrating on the bulk troops for both combatants.

The first of some Maniates/Maniots. This figure can be used as a Greek Islander
