Hail Caesar Assyrian Division

Howdy all!

I've been working on my Assyrian troops for Hail Caesar, amongst other projects, and managed to finish off my first division. Well, I say finished, I'll still probably end up doing some skirmishers and another light infantry unit, but for all intents and purposes, they will suit quite well.

I've been trying to identify the 2 metal figures used for the commander and his guard. I've checked Newline and Irregular, but I cannot for the life of me identify them. If anyone recognises them, please help, as they are a near perfect match and would add some more variation to my armies.

Additionally, if anyone can make any suggestions to painting the reed shields of the light infantry better, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for looking

Assyrians

Hi all,

My first post of the day details the start of my Assyrian army for Hail Caesar. I've had loads of these figures lying around for a few years now, and I'm only just getting around to painting them! The plan is to do an Assyrian army and an opposing Baylonian one, with Scythian and Arab allies. But we'll see how we go.

Anyway, this is my first unit of Kisir Sharutti, or Assyrian medium infantry, as per the games rules:

I chose to model the archers seperate so that I can use them on their own if ever I need to for whatever reason, and because I think 2 ranks of spearmen looks more imposing. But that's just my choice :-)

Hope you enjoy

Sumerians: Part 2

Hi all,

Following a previous post a couple of years back, 2012 in fact, I decided recently to get some of my outstanding figures painted up. From the original DBA army I put together, I still had a large number of figures left over from the 2 boxes of Hat 1:72 Sumerians I had bought. To think that for the princely sum of about £15 I can put together 2 whole armies for DBA, or a Division for Hail Caesar! Which is nice :-D

Anyway, here are the other figures painted up for your viewing delight:

These will be up for sale on Ebay at the weekend. Thanks for looking :-D

Republican Romans

Taking a little break from my Slaughterloo project, I thought I would use the fact that I'm moving out and into the new marital home shortly to get caught up on some odds and ends I've had lying around for a few years, firstly to make some space, and secondly to make some extra cash!

I've had these Republican Romans in a drawer, originally earmarked for a DBA army, but as I don't play that anymore, I have no need for them, but have always wanted to paint them up.

So here they are!

These are currently up for sale, if anyone is interested:
