I love it!! As an academic historian, Muslim, and avid RPer, this game almost sounds like it's _made_ for me. Subscribing with updates. Eager to see if you develop this concept further. And if you turn it into a finished product -- from what I see so far, I'd love to buy it!

It’s an interesting concept. I don’t really have time to roleplay anymore, but I like the thought behind it

Dear, I have recently subscribed to your channel and have been going through some earlier videos and I have a question that, perhaps, would be more pertinent to the older videos but I want to ask it here if I may; I have read some other sources saying that the Janissaries did not wear their traditional Bork hats on campaign but instead used a small turban/slouch hat on the march and during battle they would wear “sipahi” armor and helmets. Is that erroneous?

Avalon Hill published 3rd edition Runequest. The Players booklet in the box set had no fantasy setting. They used a European/Near East setting for all of their examples. They called it Cormac's Saga. Cormac was a Pict and he had companions from all around the Mediterranean. The character rules included cultural rules and the 4 main types were civilized, nomad, barbarian and primitive. The point is it would be easy to use it for a historical RPG set in that area of the world. I'm sure the book or PDF would be easy to acquire and cheap as chips. mmmmmm... chips... :) Your Pendragon example would be good too. They are supposed to be working on other settings for the Pendragon rules but they are molasses slow with releases.

Sounds interesting... if you've got the patience for folks not having a clue about the actual history.

Afternoon.

Wife made a good call, pink actually looks great on the elephant

I think the janissary in red is actually from the kapikulu cavalry, a silahtar, since their headgear was like the janissaries but it red. Great video nonetheless ❤

Really great, I’m amazed that you found such specific source material; I have read the book by Rhodes Murphy also but it doesn’t give this level of detail on the tactics

The elephant and armor look really nice, i would put another coat or two of white on the howda. Agree the pink looks nice.

Most beautiful and impressive elephant, cracking job!👍👍🐘🐘

Dear, I have some questions; I build models myself but I focus on WW2 battleships, tanks&aircraft etc I am still a novice; I understand that there is a type of thin paint that can be used to highlight and accentuate the lines and crevices in the surface of the material-what do you call that? And if my paints are primarily acrylic airbrush then what type should I use? I paint pretty decent but I am missing on that detail especially for the hard to reach places; any help or advice would be much appreciated ❤

The Timurids are looking great!

Cracking work mate. Really great to see your progress and know that you are building towards that Battle of Ankara, which will no doubt look great.

Elephant came out wonderful. I'm sure they feed and polish his armor every day. :)

Zihirli; armored. Nisanci: messenger/equerry. Peyks; halberdiers, close protection guard/escort. The dog handlers-sekban, specialized orta of janissary, usually adept marksmen. Corbaci, orta commander (chief soup cook), that’s what I think these are. Usually janissary ranks are denoted by belt color if not by headgear and also boot color. Yellow/red are officers; black/brown boots for rank&file; if you have some other questions please ask-I will try to help based on my researches

Excellent! Good to get a project to fruition. Well done.

Interesting subject. Thank you.

Good Friday evening

Useful info. Be careful. If you provide too much good information people will start using it. Then the more rare gaming armies will become more common. Then you will.... who am I kidding. Like that will happen, ha! :)

Great video for sharing this! I was actually reading up on the sipahis a couple weeks ago and it led to a question of the differences between squires and men-at-arms (roles mentioned when what I was reading describes the cebelu). Thanks for the video!

The table looks amazing! Please let us know what convention you end up running the game in, I’d love to sign up!

Great looking battle, superb units, impressive wagons and cavalry!👍👍

Looks like a smashing good time! :)

Looks great. Happy you got it to the table.

I actually really like the game color washes. Tamerlane was one of the great commanders of history.

All sounds good. I have not done any RPG stuff since my younger misbegotten days in college where there are three of us that played D&D So I'm not sure I can really give you much advice but everything sounds good, at least to my old ears

You could rip off the mummy a bit and add a secret society that is aware of the artifact's power so it's trying to keep people away from discovering it (perhaps they disappeared the proffesor , who knows ?) Also adding more rival research teams would be interesting

Addendum: Start by looking at the video that the The Terrain Tutor did some time ago: “A Guide to Making Pro Terrain Washes” In that video, he shows how to manipulate acrylic paints properly, without risking breaking down the cohesion of the acrylic colors.

A heavy and beautiful looking cavalry, nice job on the Timourid unit!

Why not make your own washes, from acrylic ink, distilled water and acrylic medium? Some people use a tiny amount of JetDry to reduce the surface tension and prevent beading, I prefer a small amount of Liquitex Flow Improver. I would stay away from using isopropyl alcohol as a flow improver on figures. I personally haven’t had any problems, but I’ve talked to several figure painters who have. They say isopropyl doesn’t always react well to some paint brands. I believe I saw several people on RUclips with their own formulas, equivalent to those Citadel washes (Nuln Oil, Agrax, etc). Let me see if I can find them again. Or just do a RUclips search for make your own washes, or make your own Nuln Oil. “Italian Wars Miniatures” Wow, now you REALLY have my attention, Sir! I’ve always wanted to purchase and paint up figures for a Spanish mercenary company in the Italian Wars. Q- Any 15mm figure suggestions for such Spaniards? Thanks!!!

I replaced all my pikes with the bristles from a broom (plastic type). Used a pair of pliers to fatten one end then cut it to a point. Looks good, are flexible, and won't stick into your hand when you go to pick them up.

Impressive looking little force there. I love a good set of pikemen

Also my video for the Spanish imperials and papal state video shows my tercios. Using blue moon. Might give you some ideas

Have not forgotten to put up my tumrid army. Will try to this week

Look at forged in battle 15mm. Saxons! They have a set of monks. They are really nice btw. You can use them for any religious order for 800 years. Still. Work for even now 😂😂😉😉

Ugh, your channel is seriously starting to tempt me into 15mm Italian Wars minis.

nice job

cool

Looks like they'll rank up well. :)

9 x 9 bases look really good, they look suitably dense and "formed".

Lots of my 15's are blue moon. Very happy with them. May set up some on my back table.

I like the six pikemen and the four mounted dudes. But what do I know?

Wow. As always, most excellent.

Maybe a dark secret buried for thousands of years. That area was Hurrian? or Hittite? Maybe the gods of that time were really Mythos and a device was buried that allowed the Mythos aliens to project their image across the cosmos. Device could be alive and breathing. Heart pumping blood. Burying the device severed their connection and unearthing it reestablished it and caused death when anyone steps into the beam. The device uses emotional energy, like fear. Many different directions can be used. Just some random ideas. Use what you want, if any, ignore the rest.

Sounds good
