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.
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From MartinC Kurdish Irregular Infantry (50pts)
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
