Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a line of 15mm Ottoman Turks for the Napoleonic period?

Jannissaries, Mameluks, that kind of thing...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Will Scarvie

Jacobite make them. I'm not sure of the quality, but they definitely make
them!

AB (anthony Barton) make excellent figures, and do Ottoman Turks also, but
I'm not sure if the range includes anything but Jannisaries, and a couple of
others like Nazimi-Jadid etc

Battle Honours
Falcon Figures
A&B Miniatures
Jacobite Miniatures
Minifigs

All produce suitable figures for Napoleonic Otomans in 15mm. The ranges vary in
size but most gamers try and mix them up to create the irregular feel of this
army.

I have over 1000 painted 15mm Ottomans for this period. They are represented by
several manufacturers:

Essex
Museum Miniatures
AB Miniatures
Battle Honors
Donnington

Hope this helps.

They were sculpted by the same person, so I would presume well!

All of the listed manufacturers mix very well with two notable exceptions. All
of the Donnington figures run large and roughly half of the Museum figures run
a bit large.

Both manufacturers produce certain figures no one else provides and when
deployed only in units of their own brand can pass in a pinch.

Museum miniatures are very large. Beautiful figs, but on the tall side.
