From MartinC Kurdish Irregular Infantry (50pts)

 Another post to round off the weekend. These figures are actually Northstar Spanish Civil War Morrocan infantry being passed off as Kurdish Irregulars for my WW1 Ottoman Army. They will be the last figures in the force until I can find some good cavalry. Not convinced by Tiger Miniatures or Matchlock esp as cavalry are expensive. 

These work well and the stripey trousers and head scarves make a change from the the beige of the Ottoman regulars

I may increase these to a full platoon, although cavalry 1st


So that is 10 x 28mm figs = 50 pts
