Tango, please let me know when these figures are available for purchase. I've wanted a 20mm Napoleonic army for years!
When I say 20mm, I mean figures that measure 20mm from the top of their base to eye level.
Can you tell me how tall one of your infantry figures is from the top of it's base to eye level?
Do you have "Crescent Among the Eagles" by William Johnson? If not, you must get it. It is the book on the Ottoman Army during the Napoleonic period. It has several great illustrations of Ottoman troops.
You can order it from Nafziger's website at link
As you know, Newline, Irregular Miniatures, and a couple of other companies make 20mm Ottomans or other 20mm figures that can be used as Ottomans. Here is a list that I've put together:
Djellis: Pathans from RSM
Yoruks: Newline
Mamluks: Historifigs (Scruby) and Newline OTT30
Janissaries: Newlin, RSM and Irregular Miniatures
Nizam-i-Jedid (in tassle cap): Musket Miniatures, CWH0054)
Sekhans: RSM Pathan, Irregular Miniatures TN 6 and 7, and Newline OTT 51 and 18
Rayas: Irregular Miniatures TN 5
Derbents: RSM Pathan standard bearer, add rifle
Albanians: Newline OTT25
However, I would much rather purchase figures designed to be Ottomans than have to convert figures.
By the way, I've collected quite a bit of information on the Persian army as well (although most of it covers the Anglo-Persian War of 1857) but I'd be happy to share it with you.
