Assyrian Odds and Ends

 

These are the last of the Chariot Era figures from Bill McHugh's collection.

Some Light Infantry/Skirmishing archers

A little repainting was needed here to give a blue/yellow theme to the unit. 


A second unit of Light Infantry Archers.


Once again, minor changes made to give a color theme to the unit. 


I once again tried to come close to reproducing the basing style that Bill used. 


An Assyrian Command Group...


a pair of Assyrian Heroes (for To the Strongest! games), and...


a stray Sardanna (Sherdan) leader or hero.


    I still have one other group of figures from Bill's collection, a moderate Medieval collection from roughly the era of the early HYW. They will need a LOT of restoration work, and I have no pressing need to do anything with them, so it is unlikely I will touch them before 2022.

      Assyrians always manage to look fierce, don't they?!

    Look good. Nice updating and matching though the project. Now your chariot wars groups are bulked up?

      Thanks, Joe. Of course, expansion begets expansion, so I have some mnew Hittites, Sherdans, and Philistines in process now...

    Nice restoration work again Peter. I'm not sure how I'd go trying to recreate someone else's basing style now that I am set in my own ways with the two formats I'm now comfortable with, and suspect I'd find it quite difficult.
