Mitanni Maryannu 4

 







Here are four more Mitanni Maryannu chariots, 15mm this time. Figures are by Gladiator Miniatures and Chariot Miniatures. Unfortunately these are no longer available with the closing of Fighting 15s and Magister Militum. I had a hard time fitting the crew into the chariots, something I remember from my last batch of these figures. There are very limited options now for metal 15mm Biblical figures with Essex Miniatures and Old Glory 15s being the main ranges left.

  1. lovely work on your Mitanni Maryannu chariots. I agree, seems 15mm metal miniatures manufactures are going out of business to be replaced by 3D miniatures printing? I'm guessing. Also in a way, I have no choice to buy Old Glory 15s here in USA, 15mm Essex and others from Europe cost to high for me to buy... very expensive to buy miniatures theses days plus shipping costs are high too....

    1. Thanks Phil, 15mm metal ranges do seem in decline and shipping costs are a real killer. There are some nice 3D printed ranges like Red Copper Miniatures but I don’t want to get into buying a printer and stl files.

  2. Very nice work, they look great, hopefully both ranges will be picked up by someone and start to be available again.

    1. Thanks Dean, the 15mm figures are a bit quicker to paint.

  4. Great looking chariots, I guess that's what the future holds, cast metal figures giving way to digital prints?
