Recruiting a DBN Ottoman Army (Pt.1)


RN012 - Sarika Arquebusier
Most of the DBN list I can fudge from my existing DBM armies - Ottoman Turks and various Arabs.  The exceptions are musket armed figures and artillery:

Compulsories
2 - Ms(M)    Janissaries   
1 - Ms(M)    Sekhans
-----
12 figures

Optionals
0-1 - Ms          Bostancia guard        
0-2 - Ms(M)    Janissaries           
0-1 - LI(M)     Janissaries           
0-2 - Ms          Nizam               
0-4 - Ms(M)    Sekhans               
0-2 - Jg            Rayas           
0-2 - LI(M)     Derbents
--------
45 figures

0-1 - HA          French trained Art   
0-2 - FA(M)     Artillery

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So scouting around figure manufacturers I turned up the following:

(A)  http://www.timecastmodels.co.uk/og15renaissance/og15renaissance.html
     (Old Glory figures)
     Standard Packs contain approximately 50 infantry, or 16 cavalry, or 6 guns with
     24 crew, or 45 foot command  figures.

ROT5      JANISSARY ARQUEBUS    
ROT6      JANISSARY MUSKET AND CROSSBOWMEN

 ROT11     TUFEKCHIS/ARNANTS/IRREGULAR INFANTRY MUSKET & ARQUEBUS
 
[The pack size is obviously for grand-scale Napoleonics...still if I went for all the musket options!]

----------------------------------------------------

(B)  https://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/collections/15mm-renaissance-ottoman-turk
     [I think that these infantry are 6 to a pack]

RN05 - Janissaries, handgun
RN012 (see top) - Sarika, arquebus (fez-like hat)  [may be usable as Qajar Persian]

RN013 - Arnaut/Martheloses, musket (turban-ish hat)  [looks slightly more irregular]

RN015 - Persian/Azab handgunner (different hat)

RNO17 - Artillerymen
RXE10 - Eastern medium bombard
RXE12 - Eastern light cannon


-----------------------------------------------------------------

(C)  http://lancashiregames.com/LG3/15mm-ottoman-turks.html
     (Venexia figures.)

OT 23 - Janissaries with muskets (campaign dress) (8 Figures)

OT 34 - Serbian, Croat or Bosnian musketeers (8 Figures) [slightly different hats]

OT 41 - Heavy Artillery and crew (3 Crew & Gun)
OT 42 - Light Artillery and crew (3 Crew & Gun)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

More research needs to be done to find the best matches.  Once I have done that I will post again.
