Ottoman Turks
Balkan sharpshooters and "field" defences
The last batch of figures completed at the moment are the Balkan Sharpshooters used in the later armies. These were skirmishing troops recruited from Bosnia and Albanian areas controlled by the Ottomans and had a reputation for being expert marksmen. The figures are from Warfare Miniatures.

And for something completely different (and again could upset animal lovers) are the tethered camels that were used for improvised “field defences” to protect infantry from enemy cavalry. The figures are from Redoubt Miniatures, I think from one of its colonial ranges, but a camel is a camel.
So what’s left to complete for the army? On the immediate “to do” list are some more Azab infantry, additional artillery and I need to build some “gun chains” for defence of the artillery.

Also, can we have a group shot? K,thx, bye.
I’ll sort one out when I finish the artillery I’m doing ?
Much appreciated! 🙂
Camels are not just the camelry sily person.
