This post shows the second unit of Nizam-i-cedid Anatolian nefer infantry in this army, this time in a simple red uniform. I have given one of the standard bearers one of the Mameluke horsehair standards for a bit of variety.
Back on the painting table are more Mamelukes.
This will be a very colorful army. Nice reds.
ReplyDeleteCertainly will be a joy to see on the table...I am planning an outing in April.
DeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil
DeleteVery nice indeed Mark…
ReplyDeleteI imagine these chaps were quite easy to paint… but they make for a very striking unit.
All the best. Aly
You are right...dead simple to do... about six colours and a couple of washes...nice to worked on a uniformed unit after the Mamelukes and their coats of many colours.
DeleteAnother very colourful unit mark - great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith a simple uniform and quick to complete.
DeleteThat is a lot of red!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I was done with red after the Franco-Prussian French...what do I know!
DeleteVery nice and a good contrast to the multi-coloured units of late, but still striking nonetheless:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, it was quite a relief to paint such a simple uniform, to be honest.
Deletenice job. those look good.
ReplyDeletenow stop painting miniatures faster than I color wooden flats.
It's embarrassing for me. 😁
Thanks Stew. You will soon catch up with me I am sure...I only have 100 or so figures left in the lead pile and no plans to buy any more right now, so by 19 February I will be done.
Deletetime to take on painting commissions? 😁
Delete...and that is under consideration, after all I have a stock of paints and brushes already.
Deleteif I didn't live across the globe I'd take you up on it.
DeleteYes freight would be a killer...probably more than the cost of painting.
DeleteYou are not going to lose these on the wargaming table. Very nice Mark. It must be a relief to get back to a unit with a uniform rather than all the effort required to make an irregular unit look irregular.
ReplyDeleteYes it was nice to get to a uniformed unit. I have another unit of colourful Mamelukes waiting to be based...they were a struggle to complete. I think the final batch will be a more subdued hue.
