Art De La Guerre

Newline Designs make some of the best value (and actually, "best" by any criteria) 28mm Biblical figures out there IMO, and I've just finished some Hittite 2 horse chariots that I plan to eventually use as Assyrian ones once I get a few more crew.



Newline don't make "Assyrian" two horse chariots, and their 4-horse ones are so hefty that it's impossible to imagine two horses pulling them at all, never mind at speed over a battlefield... so a bit of morphing, a few Assyiran archers and some magnets (which are holding the crew in these ones at the moment) and this bargain set of three "Hittite" chariots for the princely sum of just ?24 will be repurposed as Assyrians.



As you can see I have used some "wallpaper" on the fronts of the cabs to make them look a bit more like my existing Assyrian troops. When taking the photos I noticed some frosting on the wallpaper when the matt varnish was being sprayed - another coat of brush-on matt varnish should hopefully fix it.



If you wanted to be picky I'm sure you could say they are a smidge static, and the horses are not the best - but painted up they are IMO very nice models indeed, and amazing value at ?8 each, or a ridiculously cheap ?6 a opo if you'd managed to catch them in the recent sale (!!!) to boot!
