First, some appropriate music:

I have just received my first Ottoman pack, OT7 - tartar auxiliaries.  These are lovely figures

About half the pack is a very dynamic horse archer figure



And the other one of the most amazing miniatures of charging cavalry I have seen:



The two compare well with the SYW Prussian dragoon

Side:



above:



I am hoping to integrate these with the akinjis and others to get mixed units of irregular skirmishing horse archers on one hand, and warband charging horse on the others.  Nice looking figures, will require careful thought about costume.

They are some nice looking figures, but I think Elefants in support will be a bit unfair!

Funky music - does that mean I have to find Tarzan sound effects for mine -see you have set a trend now  Cheesy
Really nice figures - out of interest do you snip out the bit under the horse?

Generally.  I think I'll police them all up and use them for shell-casings by some WWII AT gun or something,

Gaaaa.... Disco *SUCKS*  I mean, the beat is positively lethargic.  And I started University the year that came out.  Scary.
