Here is a Neo-Assyrian King, on campaign in his chariot, that I've finally finished painting. He is supposed to be Ashurbanipal, the last great Neo-Assyrian king who ruled from 669 to c. 631 BC. Figures and chariots are by Wargames Foundry. A great book to get if you're interested is I am Ashurbanipal: king of the world, king of Assyria edited by Gareth Brereton a publication which accompanied the 2018 and 2019 exhibition at the British Museum.
Excellent work on your chariot, Mike! The book you cite is s good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. It is indeed, great text, photos, maps and illustrations!

Thanks Kevin, no they’re 28mm. I do have some Essex 15mm Assyrians as well.
DeleteAwesome looking Assyrian king, as played by Cagney, king of the world ma!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain.
DeleteGreat looking king's chariot, Mike. Although I never got around to building an Assyrian army (WAB days), I had a fondness for the Foundry range of them - as well as the illustrations of them in battle line in the old, original WAB book.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, yes the Foundry Assyrian range is still the best. Chariot Wars was a classic WAB supplement with great photos and illustrations.
