Like the Peleset, with the additions from Bill McHugh's collection, I felt the Hittites could use a few more archers.
These are Newline Designs figures, courtesy of their January sale (which about makes up for the outrageous postage costs from the UK!).
I chose this "Green Tea" and red scheme to complement some of Bill's Spearmen and Axemen.
Once again, I went with my own standard "Near East" basing for these new troops.
"Hey, don't blow that darned thang in my ear!"
Very nice additions to your Hittites, Peter. I do like the subtle green color.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dean. I chose that to complement some of the units from Bill's collection.

ReplyDeleteSince these are the first unit of your Newline Design Biblicals, what do you think of them? I like ‘em.
I like them, too. They are a bit less stocky than Foundry or Old Glory, but that's fine, and they mix in well with both lines.
DeleteVery nice work once again and these certainly have that Biblical look to them, plus the grren tea nad red colour scheme works a treat:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve!
DeleteGreat job on these archers!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Phil!
DeleteA good looking unit, and the tufts of grass certainly give the bases a lift.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter. The sand mixed with small "railroad talus" highlighted by the tufts is easy and works well, I think. I ordered a slew of tufts about 2years ago in preparation for tackling Bill's collection!
DeleteYou are on a roll with these Chariot era armies at the moment Peter that’s your sure. They are all looking fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carlo! I should have substantial Egyptian, Hittite, Sea Peoples, and Assyrian armies at the other end, with some supporting contingents from Canaanite states and Libyans.
DeleteReally like the animation of these. And at least they are decently attired :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary. Having slacked off on their Gym membership, they weren't so eager to show as much flesh! :-)
DeleteGreat looking Hittite archers, I rather like Newline, they don't look terribly impressive in bare metal but,as here,they paint up very nicely!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. They are less "chunky" than several other manufacturers, but probably more realistic in that way!
DeleteNice work, and that Green Tea shade is very nice indeed. It has that Biblical look to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. Aside from browns and blacks from natural wool, I would think that most biblical clothes would be in rather subdued shades.
DeleteExcellent green on these! Is that just done by mixing in a lot of white, or did you have a green that colour?
ReplyDeleteThe green is Delta CC "Green Tea", and comes this way. :-)
DeleteCool thanks!
DeleteAt your service! :-)
