Beat the War Drums! Blow the Horns! The Mighty Orrible Ottoman Horde is here!

I've been busy since our DBN Russian vs Ottoman scrap..

The existing Ottoman army has been reviewed & re-built into a mighty Ottoman Horde!  As per normal, a few new bits, some existing bits, a few new paint jobs, some new flags, all finished off with some magic basing.  A whopping 38 bases of Ottoman power ready to give the Armies of the Tsar a sound bottom spanking...lol

Sharp eyed viewers will notice no Jannisaries, they are being re-fitted as we speak.  Piccies when they are ready.  Banners are from EBay, a company called Wargames Designs  www.wargamesdesigns.com

MIGHTY SULTAN!!!!
