It's worth pointing out that none of the images posted actually looks like Huns.

Perhaps you refer to the painting of Raphael, The Meeting between Pope Leo the Great and Attila on river Mincio near Mantua

Because Raphael lived more or less 1 thousand years after the Huns and he has no available pictorial source to work with, so he imagined ... the clothings and the arms also (as you can see) are medioeval-renaissance not ancient ...

Those pictures above (except the one from Leonardo's post) are painted, made barbaric as they could imagined, i wouldnt be suprised if i saw creatures or ORC's instead of them...
A nice Turkish proverb who explains this situation: "Kedi ulasamadigi ciger'e mundar dermis..."

It is tipical to demonise the enemies as cruel barbarians etc.
See:
XVI. century depiction of Ottoman soldiers

Some of the pictures looks asiatic so not all of them are horribly incorrect.

eğer bilmiyorsan olmamış gibi g飉terme biraz araştır ama ben sana linkini weriom sen benim ingilizceme takacağına atana karşı yapılmış saygısızlıa bak biraz
"İrlanda'da İngiltere İmparatorluğu'nun insan haklarını ihlale eden ve kendi kendini y霵etme anlayışı ile hi uymayan uygulamaları Osmanlı Devleti'nde ve Trkiye Cumhuriyeti'nde tepkiyle karşılanmıştır. Osmanlı Padişahlarından II. Abdlhamid'in İrlanda'daki Katolik direnişe yardım ettiği bilinen iddialar arasındadır. Ayrıca Atatrk de İrlanda'da İngiltere'nin uygulamalarının kabul edilemez olduğunu, buna karşın tm dnyanın buna sessiz kaldığını şu s驆ler ile ifade etmiştir:
"İngilizlerin sulh zamanında ve harp sahasından uzak olarak İrlanda’ya reva g顤dğ muameleye hemen hemen kayıtsız bir şekilde bakan dnya efkarı, Ermeni ahalinin tehciri hususunda almaya mecbur kaldığımız karar i蓾n bize karşı haklı bir ithamda bulunamaz."[1]"

An other example of war propaganda, this time "Barbarian" Germans:
For "Ottomans dont never kill innocent people where conquered land ":
In medieval warfare the plunder of countryside was common practice.
For example it is well known fact that in the early XVI. century at the Hungarian-Ottoman border minor campaigns were needed to deliver supply for the border forts, because the countryside got totaly desolated by both Ottoman and Hungarian marauders.

I read this someware I don't know if it's true. the ottoman build storehouses in lands that they wanted to conquer and when they did they didn't need to plunder and steal from the locals and so gain there support.
could this be true

It might be true, but I think this attitude was the exception. Plundering to weaken the enemy was a common and accepted method of war.
