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

Thanks for looking
