« on: September 08, 2013, 14:24:14 »
Hi everyone!
These are Turks Janissaries, Generals and eunuchs.
I hope you like it!

something new! nice!!
thanks for sharing and joining us in customising armies....I've no knowledge of such periods...I know our klickies have oversized heads and so need oversized headgear but do you think slimmer coloured cords might not turn their 'shakos' into 'tophats'?

Awesome customs! Those hats are so cool! :)
Life's essentials: food, water, shelter and at least one klicky.

Nice I really like the first 2 and the diffeent combinations with the guys in the green robes and purple/pink robes but, the combination of the chest armour and purple robes on the first group and the patterns on the lead guys robes just love it  :)

Ntanny,
Thanks for the history lessons.  :thanks:
Now I know where the Germans had this idea to train soldiers from children.
This was also the way that the Germans used to create the SS.
I agree with you, despite being terrible is quite effective.
