| Assyrian spearman A3 based with shields to the front. This figure carries an Egyptian shaped shield, really based on a misinterpretation of the large Assyrian curved, round topped body shield. |

| The figures should probably been based with this view to the front... I just prefer showing the shield. |

| And back view. I should probably have painted these wearing stockings and boots; again I went for the look I preferred. |
This is the second of the three armoured close order infantry units I've decided on - the third unit will be composed of the armoured archer from the chariot set.
An impressive looking unit, lovely figures.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Must. Start. Next. Unit.
DeleteImpressive! I like the fact that some of the details of the older figures do not match with present-day interpretations. It makes the figures more exotic looking, which is what I look for.
ReplyDeleteSpears too long, shields wrong shape... but I agree, I'm long past worrying about absolute accuracy, these days I want them to look good on the table...
