I am looking for a source for 15mm Ottomans. Hopefully in the US. Any thoughts?

Old Glory's 7 Years War range has a reasonable Ottoman selection - pretty much everything you would need except Nizam i Jedid infantry.

Minifigs do a range, I believe, and so do http://www.theonetree-miniatues.co.uk but the latter don't look very good to me, I'm afraid.

I used various lines with AB for my core troops.
You can see my army at puxty.blogspot.com though you may need to seach back a bit.

I was looking at doing a Ottoman army also. Here are some links I found:

http://www.venexiaminiatures.com/english.htmlLooks like the best bet might be Old Glory. The problem with all of these is knowing what the minis look like. And with OG, you have to buy a whole 50 piece bag.
I will do some more looking, let me know what you find.

And I just found this link to Alain Touller Figures, very extensive range.

Try "One Tree Miniatures" (from the UK). They have a web site with pictures. The foot look OK, but I'm not suare about the cavalry. The horses don't look right to me.

Actually, the Old Glory SYO range does include Nizam even though they're out of SYW period.

The link above has a small typo:
http://www.theonetree-miniatures.co.uk/
These figures don't look too bad at all - and certainly if you like the craziness of the Old Glory pose fairy then these will be just right!
There is a good range of poses for each number in the range and - even better - the site has photos of the entire range. The paint job does justice to the figures without giving false impressions or expectations.
The most important thing about this range - it has the RIGHT models. We don't use Crimean Russians in our Napoleonic games, so anything other than the correct Ottomans would be particularly and decidedly - well - incorrect!
(Please don't tell me that the correct scale height for a C19 Ottoman should be 14.7mm foot to eye either, or I will be forced to wish you covered in sores, boils and those little sweets that ants like.....)

I am sorry, it's not an UK or US dealer but maybe you could see the Alain Touller Figurines for Ottomans :
http://www.atoufigs.com/PBSCCatalog.asp?CatID=249195
After you click on "artillerie", "cavalerie", "infanterie"
It's only Ottomans for Empire
