Mamelukes & Ottoman Cavalry in Eygpt

As the Evesham Wargames Club, Age of Reason Campaign gathers pace, I thought it was time removed the covers off my Cavalry Arm. Based and painted for my up and coming collection for the French in Eygpt.

The Malmelukes are from Wargames Foundry from their  Napoleonic range - Imperial Guard Mamelukes not my first choice but I figured they would do for both sides.
It's been quite a while since I painted such rich colours and whilst they may have looked rather gordy when putting the paint on, I am really pleased with the results.

Second up Ottoman Cavlary from Brigade Games some great castings, the horses suffer from rather weak ankles but should be ok now based.

I have also finished some Big Men for the the Ottoman Command technically several houndred years to late as they are from Black Tree Design Crusades range, but with a few Victrix Hands and PIstol add on's they seem to fit the bill.

  1. Nice figures and very very nice painting Stuart. Colours look great to me. I find that you do need to paint then slightly brighter than you would think and then they will look perfect on the table.
