Lucky Toys have a nice box of Ottomans mixing both infantry (less the Janissaries) and cavalry. The figures are some of the best I´ve seen in 20mm and their faces are true works of art (Lucky Toys is affiliated with Caesar somehow). The figures are best for the previous century and for the campaign that led to the fall of Constantinople but they fit reasonably well for the campaign of 1526. My Lucky Toys cavalry was made years ago already and the swords and maces were replaced by spears, a more proper weapon for the XVI century.
This a wargaming place were you can see a growing collection of miniatures and terrain of many historical periods in 20mm (but also a few 10mm,15mm and 28mm) started when I was 10 yo. At the moment it has several tens of thousands of miniatures from foot figures to Destroyers. Occasionally there are some war movie critics and some travel to military sites. My family considers it the best wargaming site in the World even if it is the only one they know. More on @joaopeixoto5249 YouTube Channel.

Impetus Rules - Mohacs 1526, part 10 - A batch of Ottoman infantry from Lucky Toys in 20mm
These heavy infantry figures belong to the Kapi Kulu corps and will be placed close to the Janissaries. Most of the shields were bent with fire for more frontal protection. I thought about replacing the axes and swords with spears but maybe i´ll do it in a next batch I find.
These Yayalar were some of the most common Ottoman infantry together with the Azab. The figures with the spear to the front got a plastic shield.
Only one position for archers but even so a very nice figure.
These two command stands have a commander thats transpires Turkish from all pores and also an European looking figure that may be inspired in the Balkanic allies.
Next: WWI Turkish
