As the heavy infantry before, these slingers are from Wargames Foundry's excellent range of 25mm Biblicals. Sculpting is first-rate and still top of the line after many years in production.
Each stand maintains the tunic and kilt coloring to match each of the earlier heavy infantry units. Once I move on to auxiliary troops, unit attire will likely see more variety and less "uniform" uniforms. Next off the painting desk for this project is a stand or two of Assyrian archers. I am also considering rebasing the King's chariot stand to increase the frontage to a regular-sized base and adding a few runners. For now, all of the other chariots will maintain their half-base frontage.
Great looking Slingers Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal!
DeleteVery nicely painted, Jonathan. I agree the Foundry Ancients still look great.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dean! There really are very few bad Foundry lines of figures. In fact, I think I like them all!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark!
DeleteGreat brushwork. I like an Assyrian army due to the chariots, cavalry and infantry armed with large shields. Cracking stuff.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Dannoc! We like the Assyrians for many of the same reasons. And, they just look cool!
DeleteLooking good, Jon!
ReplyDeleteThanks! One day, you will see them on the gaming table. Tempted to field an opposition force?
DeleteYes I am. Who do you have in mind? Babylon? Elam? Horse nomads?
DeleteA better question might be, "who do you have in mind!"
DeleteNeo-Babylonians, Neo-Elamites, Aramean, Neo-Hittites, Israelites, Philistines would all be good choices. Even with Jake building an Egyptian force and I an Assyrian army, Egyptian or Assyrian would work too. They did fight each each. So many interesting choices.
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg!

Thanks, Iain. A whole army photo is a LONG way off! More units are winding their way through the painting queue.
DeleteWell done Jonathan, impressive and beautiful slingers!
ReplyDeleteYour encouragement is always welcome, Phil. Thanks!
DeleteCatching up after a long work week - they looks superb; I especially like the fringes on their tunics!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, Peter!
