Two-Fer Tuesday: Hittites

Today, a double-shot of Hittites musters out from the painting desk.  Of late a string of Biblical units has been marching across the painting desk with first Nubians, then Egyptians, and now Hittites.  When will it all end?  Soon, I think.  There are two units of Sea Peoples in work along with a stand of Assyrian heavy infantry.  I may interrupt the current Biblical procession with something non-Biblical to break up the monotony.   

First up today is a Hittite chariot and hangers-on.  The cab and crew are from Wargames Foundry while the runners are Newline Designs.  By my count, this makes Hittite chariot #10 to pass across the painting desk and report for service.  There may still be a few left in The Lead Pile.  Perhaps even a few more than that since my last two Newline orders may have included some. 

Next up, is a fourteen-figure stand of Hittite heavy infantry.  Figures for this batch are Wargames Foundry.  I know for a fact that these are the last of this figure in The Lead Pile.

Again, by my count, there are now four such units in the Hittite Army.  Seems I have painted more than four of these stands.  I wonder if this is a situation where my Painting Log counts do not tie to the figures in box?  I must pull the figures from their storage boxes and make a head count.  Perhaps, I forgot to add a unit into the Painting Log?  I will find out soon enough.    

With all of the Hittites piling up, one day, I will actually get this collection out on the table for maneuvers.  With twilight not far off on the Rivoli battlefield, a battle of Biblical proportions (or at least Biblical setting) may be a good way to clear the table of the French Revolution and turn the clock back about 3,500 years in time.
