Great figure and a favorite of mine.<br /><br />The fringes can add quite a bit of color, as you say. More Assyrians are in work on the painting desk now including two units of heavy archers and two units of slingers. This has the possibility of becoming a colorful army. Very fun to paint.

I think the "back-ranker" may be intended as an officer; My Minifigs "officers" have a similar, folded arms pose, which makes me suspect it is taken from the bas-reliefs themselves. The Minifigs ones wear a long cloak, though. I also enjoy painting Assyrians (they were my very first Ancient army). Their look is very distinctive. Even if you use drab robes for the regulars (I didn't!), you can still throw in plenty of color with the fringes.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-29656426376947180632017-05-18T18:28:12.708-07:002017-05-18T18:28:12.708-07:00"Yet" is the key, my friend!
