Next up for me are more of my new Donnybrook Ottomans.
My second Ottoman unit of the Challenge are 12 x Segban Recruit Musketeers armed with Matchlock Muskets. The Segban units were not a fully formed unit and acted mainly as light infantry for the Janissary Orta's
For those of you unaware in Donnybrook a Recruit Infantry units has 12 figures and throws D6 to hit and for morale, so as pretty as they look they're not the best unit on the board.
Segban units usual wore there own cloths, as they were not issued any uniform, but just for ease of use in games, I've given them all a light blue hat and green waistsash. I've kept the rest of their cloths pretty subdued, greys, browns and dull greens.
Points mean prizes so my Segban should earn me....
60 points!
Nice additions to what must be quite the Donny-horde in your collection now Ray! Love the colour on the hats to brighten them up a bit too

Beautiful brushwork Ray. I really like their turquoise headgear. Well done young man!
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt! Its a rather snazzy hat eh?
DeleteThese are really nice, nifty headgear
ReplyDeleteI've got one of these hats, but its white with a Leeds United badge!
DeleteGreat work Ray, they look sharp.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed to learn that a skirmishing matchlock unit doesn't dominate the table top...what gives with those rules? :)
Afraid so Greg ;0) They're not gonna win any prizes......a bit like me!
DeleteGreat unit of matchlock men Ray, gotta get me a turquoise hat like that. Maybe if you put them in cover with a leader they’ll stick around for a bit. Could provide a bit of fire support.
ReplyDeleteI think that'll be there job, hide and shoot!
DeleteVery nice work Ray; I love the colour combo. I have a few units in different games that are like them: look great on the table but are rather fragile.
ReplyDeleteMost armies had them, the Ottomans seem to have quite a few!
DeleteNice work, Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks.
DeleteGreat looking minis, the colourful headgear should make them stand out on the table.
ReplyDeleteThe way you describe the unit type, size and attacks makes Donnybrook sound similar to Saga, a game I enjoy. I may have to pick up a copy of the rules for comparison.
You're right, they are quite similar to Saga. Give them a go Stuart, you'll like 'em!
DeleteNice looking bunch of skirmishers!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain.
DeleteThese look great Ray!
