Like the Egyptian Chariots when they arrived these packs presented a bit of a brain pain. Because like the Egyptians they included an archer and a spearman, in this case for a three man crew including driver. Hittite heavy chariots are supposed have two spearman no archer. After a couple of weeks uming and ahing I decided to combine the spear and make some chariots light archers, more chariots now needed! When I came to paint these I noticed there is only room for one fighting crew member any way! Problem solved. Some people believe that they only had one anyway so justified!
They look great David. I especially like the horses, nice figures aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThanks James. Yes they are very satisfying to make. Though I'm such a clutz I nearly always break an axel!
DeleteThey look great, beautiful chariots David!
ReplyDeleteQapla' gentlemen! :-)
ReplyDeleteI do like the appearance of your Hittites. Perhaps I should consider them as a future 25mm project....
Yes Gonsalvo you certainly should do a Hittite Army! They fought just about everyone and it means you could one day do Qadesh. And thanks for the Klingon!
