I am liking them very much also Jchaos! The Mage was super!
The bonus for me is you are using my university football colours!

Loads of great stuff - particularly like the Ottoman big guns. You must be getting a good sized Ottoman army together by now?

I am running out bases, so I put a Pendraken order. Also primer and persian inmortals.

I like this. I need some bases, so I bought some figures too !  

Hope you got extra bases for the new figures as well.

Thanks,

@ Fred, by now my ottoman army looks like




It is only left to be painted: a couple units of azabs, and the characters (Sultan with beheaded, music band and caravan of children-slaves).

I know I shlould have a couple units more of sipahis, but I can reuse arab shock cavalry and a unit of dellis that I have in Madrid (in my parents house and where is the main bulk of my armies). So it is good for me as it is.

Nice

Very nice!

Terrific !

First unit of the month. It represent a kid-slave caravan. It was a common practice from the very beginning of the islam world (Turks and Fatamids did), to take captive kids and rise them as slave-warriors in the Faith. Some times those kids were kidnapped other times demand as tribute to subjugate territories. The Jenizars and other elite units from different ages were made in this way.

I was inspired with Mihael Viteazul aka The last crusade film. In the first half hour of the film shows this practice, when turkish take the children of the walachs as tribute.

Very nice indeed

Take care

Good little scene

Lovely little set up there.
Reminds me of the fellowship of the ring group I've had waiting for paint the last um......10 years

Good stuff.

Haha I did not see it in that way... but it is true  

The Fatimids were a bit down the line; Islam's rather older than that.

Yes FK, you are right.

A unit of azabs (turk archers)



a jenizar command. They use a brass pot as standard or a symbol of command. The command titles were cooker titles, like asci basi (Chef of the kitchen) or corbaci basi which means "soup deliverer" and  command one orta (regiment) that could be as equivalent of Coronel....  sooo crazy
