From MIkeW, 22 x 17th Century Balkan Infantry (115 Points)

So into the last week of the Challenge and although the deadline has been extended - I have a 'hard stop' the 19th March, as the following day we're away to attend a family wedding.

Undercoated figures

That said I'm hoping to finish on a high with this the first of two batches of figures that I have got ready and here's hoping I can get a third batch done in time for the big stop!

Anyway this post is regarding a second batch of 17th Century Balkan Infantry that I have been able to complete this weekend. First batch was posted as part of this challenge <here>.

Centre of unit, to left of picture is the unit's Officer

This batch of figures consisted of 22 x 28mm Perry plastic ACW Zouaves, converted much the same way as the first batch, substituting heads from Gripping Beasts' Arab Light Cavalry and Infantry packs and converting a couple of the figures into a Turkish musicians, one with drum and the other with a  horn

Focus on the command stand, flag is home made

A third figure was converted into an officer and an officer to lead the unit, he ha a shield and sword arm added from eth Gripping Beast Arab Light Cavalry box and a feather from the Warlord Games Landsknecht box.

Typically I would do a unit of 20 or 24, but with only 22 figures renaming from the pack I allowed each flank stand to be of only three figures, giving the front rank, 12 figures and the rear rank just 10
