"Today's post is the second part to the Balkan Cavalry post from a couple months back: That post showed the Wargames Atlantic 3D printed "turkic light cavalry" built and painted as generic 15th and 16th century Balkan light horse and here we have another dozen of them built and painted more specifically as Ottoman akinji. Of course the previous figures would also be perfect as akinji but the turbans most of the figures in this second unit wear demark them more clearly as Ottomans. As with the previous unit these figures are not made solely from the 3D printed kits. The shields have been swapped whilst feather plumes have been added to some of the turbans and sheathed swords have been added to the miniatures along with bows in bow cases. One of the figures has a helmeted head left over from the dismounted sipahis unit that was completed earlier in the year…"
