Another Ottoman Janissary unit completed, this time in more combative firing and advancing poses:
I stuck with the same colour scheme as the previous unit, mainly because I enjoyed the look and it was fun to paint, but will vary it for my forthcoming units:
Again, these have a banner from the Little Big Men Studios range. I nearly cocked this one up as the flags are in two separate halves and have to be applied as decals on a blank sheet of paper. I put the first one down on a slight off-angle, but managed to line the second one up that when trimmed and with the edges painted, it is difficult to tell they are slightly out of alignment:
They really are worth the minimal effort though and, I believe, add a nice finishing touch:
I have two more units of Janissaries to complete, but will be making a start on some Azabs which I have prepped and ready to go.
Splendid Janissaries, splendid colors and impressive details on them...and lovely flag!
ReplyDeleteThanks again Phil. I think the flag came out fairly well in the end.
DeleteExcellent servants of the Sultan!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. I have him ahead of me in the painting queue.
DeleteAnother fine addition to your collection Lawrence
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. I'm hoping I can knock over a couple more units before Christmas, but there seem to be a few long lunches and social events which will no doubt slow things down.
