Hittite Archers #2

 

A second unit of formed archer for a bit of fire support for the Hittites. 


These are Newline Designs figures once again. 


Blue was actually a difficult color to achieve with vegetable dyes, and thus I've used the very grey toned Delta Ceramcoat "Wedgewood Blue" here.  


The rest of the Army has nick-named these guys "The Skinheads"!

    1. Thanks, Jon. I am enjoying them as well. I have quite a few of their Indian figures to paint later in the year.

    1. The Hittites aren't really a firepower army, but everyone needs a little support!

  8. A fine looking unit! Folically challenged perhaps, but I guess nice and cool in warmer climes.

    1. I debated if they were wearing round helmets, but it didn't seem so! :-)
