On the down side it has cost more than I had hoped - especially buying TAG horses to replace the OG ones!Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-11142888412806619152020-08-04T15:04:27.009-07:002020-08-04T15:04:27.009-07:00Very nice!

Is he meant to represent a North African horseman? It's possible, or has the artist just associated the adarga with Islamic warriors and as such chosen to portray an Ottoman horseman with one? As that image is from an account of events surrounding the first Ottoman Siege of Rhodes in 1480 it is quite possible that the artist had seen or heard that north african troops were involved. It's hard to say.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-23159792742677210152020-08-03T06:54:53.025-07:002020-08-03T06:54:53.025-07:00Great looking Balkan horse!

The first unit could easily be used as Stradiot, which is understandable as they all broadly from the same areas, the shield in the first print on the chaps back is really interesting as it does look like a Spanish jinette shield, glad you found an excuse to use the Durer print, one of my favourites!<br />Best Iain caveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-54316535825330746552020-08-02T12:13:38.588-07:002020-08-02T12:13:38.588-07:00Thanks Peter, it really is a fascinating period to...Thanks Peter, it really is a fascinating period to do an Ottoman force for, there are so many different troops from their vast empire. For now I think the North African Corsairs, Bedouin Tribesmen and Tartar Auxiliaries will have to wait!Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-8375913022735837022020-08-02T12:11:49.882-07:002020-08-02T12:11:49.882-07:00Cheers Ronin, I have wanted to do an Ottoman army ...Cheers Ronin, I have wanted to do an Ottoman army for ages but was never completely happy with the figures available.
