Here are two Amorite Kingdoms chariots from the time of King Hammurabi of Babylon (c.1792 - c.1750 BC) that I painted about fifteen years. These are Warlord Games figures.

Amorite Kingdoms - Ba'irum
From the Satrap Miniatures archives of December 2014, here are some Amorite Kingdoms troops from the time of King Hammurabi of Babylon (1792-1750 BC). They are ba'irum armed with axe and bow. To quote The Armies of the Ancient Near East 3,000 BC to 539 BC by Nigel Stillman and Nigel Tallis (p.21):
An interesting troop-type, which appears to have been considered essential to take on campaign (Shamsi-Adad once reprimanded Yasmakh-Adad for neglecting to mobilise them) were the ba'irum. The term is derived from the word 'to hunt' (like the Napoleonic 'chasseur' and 'jaeger'), and their principal weapon was an axe.
These figures are Cutting Edge Miniatures distributed by Warlord Games.
