Ottoman Tufekcis

Just finished some cannon fodder for the Ottomans. This is as close as I could get to Tufekcis by modifying the Orion Janissaries by cutting down the hat and adding a tissue paper turban.

The Orion figures are better for irregulars as there are only two figures in each pose.


The musicians at the back are a bit of decoration to accompany my Ottoman commanders

  1. An efficient conversion -the diversity of poses completes nicely the 'light' / 'irregular' look.

  2. How nice to see an Ottoman army, they seem to have become deeply unfashionable lately.

    I like that unit a lot. If I may say so, you have used just enough colours to make them look colourful but avoided the ' bag of dolly mixtures, dropped on the table ' look that sometimes comes with oriental armies.

    Nice to see, thank you.
