Despite some 'traffic jam' on my workbench, I've somehow found the time to finish off a small unit of Greek armatoloi irregulars for the Ottoman-Venetian War campaign we're currently running – whose development can be followed either at Fife&DrumMinis forum or through Defiant Principality blog (this latter in Catalan language only, sorry for this).
For such the small 12-figure size unit you can see, it shows a ridiculous variety of composition – for it consists of a core of 8 greek-albanian warriors from AB figures' napoleonic range, complemented by an officer from Eureka, a standard bearer handcrafted from a Blue Moon peasant, a handgunner from Capitan and even a non-metal, 3D-printed figure from HeroForge!
If wished, some explanations and a few pictures else can be watched at soldadets.blogspot.com/2022/08/armatoloi-grecs-i.html. Despite this blog is Catalan text only too, there is a translating button that sometimes manages to give good enough translations  Cheers,

Very cool! But then, I am interested in all sorts of Greeks. I particularly like the brown shade of jackets you gave some of the men.

Sharp painting and interesting basing style. Nice mix of sculpts. Always wanted to game the Greek War of Independence in 15mm. I have some of the old AlphaCast range but looking to supplement that lot with other ranges. |

Basing itself derives from Principles of War system (3 figure stands, 3 x 1.5 cm each). After switching to Sam Mustafa's Maurice, I didn't rebase but rather designed my PoW bases as 'half-bases' instead; so that a 'complete' 3 x 3 cm base would consist of two of my previously existing ones. As for the unusual movement trays I'm using, these are intended for easily identifying irregular units; while they still present to the enemy the due 2-bases frontage, their rear ranks are not evenly distributed. This way, it's easy to say at a glance who are irregulars on a given tabletop. Another example, this consisting of a larger Ottoman feudal infantry unit (composed by 3 'complete' bases, or 6 of my 'half-bases'):
