Returning to lighter matters, activity at the painting desk once again picks up.
Today, a nine figure unit of Assyrian heavy archers debouches from the confines of the painting desk. These nine figures comprise a 'T' missile stand in Impetvs.
Figures are Wargames Foundry from the excellent Bronze Age range. I may sound like a broken record but these figures and the whole range of Assyrians are excellent in every way.
A second, similar stand will be moving from the workbench soon.
Very nice! All of the Foundry Bronze Age figures that I have seen are marvelous - I have a small handful of their Sumerians 'in reserve' while I try to sort out rules/basing.
I'll happily agree that the Foundry Assyrians are very nice. I can remember them being released, as I was playing in a PBM campaign game called Assyria's End. Foundry's Assyrians, Anc. Egyptians and EIR have always caught my eye.
Thank you, Peter. Many of the heavy infantry I put wearing metalled plates but most of these heavy archers I left wearing leather linothorax. I think a few may be wearing metalled plated. If not in this unit, perhaps the next?

ReplyDeleteThank you, Greg! Sumerians? I did not know Foundry made Sumerians?

ReplyDeleteRoy, they are wonderful lines of figures, no doubt. Becoming one of my favorites. Wait! I saw that about most figures.
DeleteExcellent work, your Assyrians are shaping up o a force to be reckoned with.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Steve! Still much work to do but I am chipping away at a small force.
DeleteNice very nice, I agree the foundry assyrians are lovely solid figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Everyone seems to be in agreement that this is a fine line of figures. With that, we should see lots in tabletop games.
DeleteGreat work on these fine figs, Jonathan. I used to marvel at the images them on the Foundry website, as well as in adds in gaming magazines.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dean! I must say, it is so good to see you showing up on the commentary again!
DeleteThe figures of painted figures are inspirational, for sure.
Gorgeous! Excellent job Jonathan!
ReplyDeletePhil, you are very kind!
DeleteFantastic work once again Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteA cracking piece of painting on these fine fellows.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteExcellent archers Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them! More to come.
DeleteA worthy addition to your growing Biblical hordes!
ReplyDeleteI agree! This is becoming a fun army to build.
DeleteGreat miniatures
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mark!
DeleteLovely work, as always, Jonathan. It looks like you are really enjoying this project.
ReplyDeleteHey, Mark! Who does not enjoy a new project? Certainly not me!
DeleteAnother very fine Assyrian unit, Jon. I see you have them painted as wearing leather armor. I like the brass/bronze details on some of the helmets!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter. Many of the heavy infantry I put wearing metalled plates but most of these heavy archers I left wearing leather linothorax. I think a few may be wearing metalled plated. If not in this unit, perhaps the next?
DeleteLovely looking Assyrians, fine looking figures that you have as always painted well.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Iain, you are always supportive and encouraging. Much appreciated!
DeleteAnother great unit, you are definitely cranking them out!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hardly made it to the painting desk this week...
