What are people buying?

That looks pretty good Iain. May I have a browse of it when we meet up in March? I quite fancy an 18th century Ottoman army

Yes, of course.

How about a 20mm Ottoman army?

You read my mind. Just need to work out which figures to use.

It's worth having a look at Newline's Napoleon in Egypt range. John C does an ex Minifigs Janissary (which he'll try to sell you but is too big) and Irregular has a reasonable selection. There are loads of plastics but they are a bit big for my taste - and of course they tend to look like they're at a dance.

Do you know of any other makes?

There are the 1/72 figures in the Hagen Miniatures shop.

They will be too big to go with Newline and the website is clunky - you have to keep scrolling to the bottom of the page every time you click on anything.

There is a good chance further figures will be added to the range and there are French, British and Sepoy figures suitable for Egypt too.

To be honest I haven't really looked yet. I'll now do a bit of research, but they need to be compatible in size with the Les Higgins stuff, ideally. Otherwise I'll have to buy some opposition too.

I was exchanging e-mails with Uwe about scales only recently. I think we've agreed that 1/72 will be too big for my LH and Irregular chaps, but he's volunteered to send comparison piccies of his new Spanish WSS stuff.

Yes there is no chance of them matching up with LH which along with Newline and RSM (ex Pax Britannica) 20mm (not the 25mm ones) I think of as "small 20mm".

I would love to see a list of Bacchus subbies for Ottomans in 6mm.

Pete has already listed the proxies for the cavalry along with the range of infantry.

I think the Newline figures, albeit Napoleonic, are close enough to late 17thC to be useable.....well, I would wouldn't I. Sean has done me a bunch of shields so I can enhance the Janissaries a bit, and a couple of Irregular Miniatures chappies squeezed into a unit will add a bit of variety.
