This unit will reinforce my Ottoman army. Voynuks were tax-exempt non-Muslim Ottoman subjects from the Balkans, particularly from Serbia, Wallachia, Albania etc. Made with Fireforge Russians.
Hey deturnation. Thank you! Regarding the heads: They are not really skulpted, but rather blue stuff copies. I often make little modifications on original heads – in this case removed metal stripes and rivets – to “balkanize” them and then make copies with blue and green stuff.
Didn’t know you could copy with using Greenstuff yet. Blue Stuff I had heard though. Still looking fabolous!
What is the primary enemy of a 15th century Ottoman army btw – game wise? Is it the Romanians with Tepes or do you play battles with the HRE?
Watch this regarding blue and green stuff copying: https://youtu.be/hDbNmvUY9II
It’s super easy and works really good Lets you create your ideas en masse 😊
The main enemies on the balkans in the 15th century (Rumelia) were wallachia, albania, moldavia, byzantine empire, hungary and of course a mix of western european crusaders (battle of varna).
Thank you very much for the vid and for the historical info!
The fall of the “byzantine empire” of course – totally forgot about that one as because I think too much in “16th century”. And they weren’t much of an enemy by that time… 😀
Very nice! 🙂

Hey M Chad, the base models are fireforge russian infantry out of the box. As they have open hands you can easily put those halberds on.
