Turks, thousands of them [ well actually a couple of dozen]

 Well I've finally finished re basing the Ottoman Turks that I was able to buy back  that had been originally the collection of my long suffering wargaming partner, John Reidy. I still think that these figures by Hinchliffe and Mini Figs are pretty damn good, and I look forward to fighting with them. First battle will be against Colin's Polish army, so a walkover in sight I think.

 I just need to add to the units now and pad out the army with more Jannisaries  and some extra cavalry. Still its a decent start for this Renaissance army. I played a Renaissance game the other night against John using the Impetus rules, and had forgotten just how good they are. I ended up with a bad head from thinking too much, but it was a very tense game, closely fought against the Imperialists. The upshot is I now want some Spanish adding to my collection. The Colunellas which were a precursar to the Tercios are a hard nut to crack, but they look very effective.More expense I fear.

 The Jannisaries in the green are my attempt to add to the army, they are meant to represent a unit of Scout Jannisaries. It appears that certain of the regiments had specific roles and could have been dressed accordingly.

                                      

  Italian Arquebusiers, I appear to have acquired from somewhere a large number of TAG figures, so it would be a shame not to paint them.
