Toxicpixies various motley assortment.

Dang, didn't even think about that! I guess they could... I've some Tufecki muskets to do to back up the Janissaries though so they might be a bit redundant. Especially as I don't think Fire & Fury bases are very compatible with my Pike & Shotte unit bases

[burnaby64]

That is seriously nice painting. Thank you for sharing.

[toxicpixie]

Pleasure - the new ACW are seriously nice sculpts!

[toxicpixie]

Just had a look and they are very nice. Nice basing mix of materials and colours on the Ottomans (Ottomens?).
Particularly versatile are the WWII 6mm on a Martian coloured playing surface.
All good stuff and nice looking chaps to boot.

Missed that on the way past! Is that the Chasseurs d'Afrique? I was actually rather proud of them there bases! There's tufts of sere static grass, a mix of coarse Lidl modelling paste & micro cork rocks and my usual sand. Nothing out of this world Although as with all the French early war tanks there's something a bit steam-punk/Jules Verne about them...

I wanted to break up the basing on the Ottomans a little, hence the tiny stones - railway ballast. Gives a nice break from sand-grass-sand

Ta!

You should be proud of that basing, definitely looks the part

I think Subedai missed a couple of vital clues in the comments on those 6mm images, 1er Regiment Chasseurs d'Afrique
Technically a cavalry formation they were stationed in the Casablanca ...fought their way across North Africa to Tunis

So they are actually based for Tatoonie in a Galaxy far far away or more likely Tataouine in Tunisia, that the planet was named after

It's surprising how much alien planets look like of bits of earth

Anyway, especially for FierceKitty and his desire for Ottomans, a couple of WIPS of the arty I'm working on.

[GordonY]

2nd piccy is of when they invaded Australia then?

[toxicpixie]

They were in sore need of a Four x! Posted from the phone it flipped it but if you click to enbiggen it filps the right way :£

[FierceKitty]

I don't desire Ottomans. We're just good friends.

Not on my machine, it doesn't.

[paulr]

Not on my machine, it doesn't.

Nor mine, and I'm in the southern hemisphere 

[FierceKitty]

Are you a great and powerful Oz?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

It's not a southern thing, don't flip on mine either.

[Hertsblue]

No, nor mine. Not even if I stoke the boiler and open the regulator. 

[toxicpixie]

How odd, it did for me on the phone, but doesn't on my PC. Hang on...

Wait...

Wait...

Here it is!

[toxicpixie]

Bad me, double posting! Anyway, some more WIPs for the Ottomans are up on Facebook. Sipaphi's, command bases, remaining Janissaries. I must confess I've nabbed the flag design form the Tufekci command stand from BucketKnights 2011 painting comp entry - the black & red anarcho-communist design spoke to me



More piccies on Face ache in link, as well as some non-Pendraken stuff! I intended a full set of photos from bade coat to finished article but got carried away being productive!

[fred.]

Good stuff.

Seeing these I wish I had got the command pack when I got my Janissaries , the soup carriers, and the horn / whistle blowers and drummers all look cool.

And essential if you want a Mehter to go with them!

[FierceKitty]

I use them for part of my camp. One thing DBR actually did get right was making it important to defend your baggage.

[toxicpixie]

Yeah, they're really nice looking figures - the kettle is really nicely done, esp.! The pack is five foot command groups of fat pasha, drummer, trumpeter, standard bearer, & then the kettle plus bearers. I've gone with a group for each of the four bases of janissaries I have then split the fat pasha out with the kettle for a Battalia command group, and the other three have a "paint conversion" in red for the upcoming Tufekci Battalia.

Cracking on with these is really being helped by posting to the forum - it's encouraging me greatly in getting stuff done! Base these, then there's four eight man Tufikci, three more Sipaphi, two more guns & the cavalry & overall commanders and I'm done. Oh, and some rabble
