From MartinC The Turkish Army (118pts)

 Afternoon all, hope you are all well. A very steady couple of days for me and I've completed all the Turks I have, although there is another section on the way (which may grow into a whole platoon - who am I kidding, which will become a whole platoon if the figures are suitable),

I've also expanded all of Dunsterforce to apply to the whole of WW1 in Mesopotamia and the Ottoman Empire, so I've go as many of them to paint as I've already done)

So the last figures I had to paint were just over 2 infantry sections





To finish an independent officer who can double as an artillery spotter



I've also completed 4 more trench sections, need a few more sections and some ends but that will be enough

THis is my completed army of 8 infantry sections, 3 cannon, 2 machine guns and artillery observers and officers. 
I'm really quite pleased with this force and with some additional colour from irregulars they will look cool on the table.

Scores on the doors
22x28mm infantry = 110
4 trench sections at 2 pts each = 8
total 118

Have a good week and try not to overthrow any governments, it never ends well

  1. These Turks look great Martin. Looking forward to seeing what else yo7 come up with. Arab irregulars? Bengal lancers? An armoured car?

    1. Cheers. Irregulars was tough. Gripping Beast do some Arabs, Artizan do Lawrence and the arabs but Northstar do Spanish Civil War Moroccans and I think they will do nicely

    1. Ta, irregulars will be stripey - which will be nice and could look like you are being attacked by killer deck chairs

  8. Nice one Martin, as well as the Tiger Miniatures stuff (which paint up better than they look) Minifigs have Turkish Lancers in their East Ablaze range, if you pop over to Yarkshire Gamer you'll find pics of them 👍
