TAG Janissaries - WIP

Although these are actually from the Assault Group's Renaissance range, they'll be opposing the French invaders a few centuries later. Shouldn't be too much of a stretch as the Ottoman army was a bit behind in military technology - the Janissaires in particular.

As usual, they've been given a Minwax stain over a basic block paint job (pictured below). Need to pick up two more figures to have them in three 6-man units. Saw some nice command figures that were originally sold by Trent Miniatures.
Just a quick post on a new Federal holiday we have here in the States. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best.

      Thanks, Keith. Yes, these are every bit as colorful as the previous French demi-brigade guys. Should be quite a color bash on the gaming table. Kindest regards, Dean

    Busy man as usual. Nice progress your making. I’m doing a small commission for a friend that overlaps it’s history with what your doing. Byzantine Saga Army.

    Take care

      Thanks a lot, Markus. I used Vallejo Model Color Dark Blue (70.930). It's just a basic blue, but does have a nice tone. Kind regards, Dean
