Ottoman Turks
Heavy Artillery
The next batch of figures completed was more artillery.
The Ottomans had a reputation for the adoption of technology and nowhere was this demonstrated more than in its artillery. In Europe where “master gunners” were assisted by “labourers” the Ottomans had adopted a professional organisation incorporated the “household troops” and associated with the Janissaries.
The figures are once again from TAG, I especially like the ornate cannon. The bright colours of the gun carriages are just speculation based on some illustrations.
