Rogue officer

Fresh off the workbench are these figures created especially for an Andreivia 1918 game this Christmas.

Iskander Bey is a rogue Turkish officer who has become convinced that he is a reincarnation of Alexander the Great. Believing himself to be blessed by the gods he has established a personal fiefdom somewhere in the hills of Andreivia.


He's a 20mm plastic figure that I acquired, I think from Tim Gow, many years ago. Don't know the manufacturer but I guess maybe Esci or Italeri?

Iskander's bodyguard are also plastics from the same source. I've gone for a fictional black uniform.


Their leader (on the larger base) is a conversion from a European officer. He originally had a bare head and waved a pith helmet in his left hand. I cut away the helmet and transplanted on a turbaned head from another infantryman. I chose the one with the most impressive beard!
