At long last got around to revamping the Hittite footsoldiers. I had around 120 from 20 years ago, since when more pictorial interpretations have been published and superior figures produced, unfortunately in 28mm starting with Foundry rather than 15mm. I had a fair stock of unpainted figures, and decided to pad them out with some […]

As a distraction, I’ve been finishing off some units and making some command vignettes to make the generals more distinctive.

The ground is a cream coloured paint but I wanted to differentiate it a […] 
This started over 20 years ago when I put together a biblical collection. Peter Guilder’s fault really.
