1/72 Assyrians

[SV52]

Expanded DBA army from the spares bin:



Nine years separates the old and new, amazing how long paint lasts

Splendid looking force.

Cheers - Phil

[Roy]

that looks brilliant. wish i had an army like that 

[petercooman]

Very nice force!

Do you play dba on those hexes?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those are great! 

[SV52]

Many thanks 

petercooman: I have done, went through an exercise of translating all the move distances, ranges, etc. into hexes. Simple enough as DBA 3.0 went to base widths for everything. These 1/72 figures are on 60mm wide bases.

Thans for the reply !

I Just remembered i asked the Same thing when You Posted Your Space marine force a while back, and You mentioned Your dba there.

Know very little about them but very nice looking, SV52.

That is a really nice looking force. I am starting to see quite a few blogger / posters showing chariot armies lately, hopefully something that will gather pace.

Two of my least favorite things to paint, wheels and horses, several of which are combined just to get one thing.

Painting the three chariots was a bit of a marathon, well pleased to get it over with. If I was starting over again the Assyrians would be on my ancient short list.  A really good plastic one is here:

I was heading in that direction but common sense prevailed for once

Since I've been working on Red Eagle's rather rough-and-ready WWI biplanes, I realise my earlier distaste for assembling chariots was misplaced!

Those aren't the most user friendly models are they

The last two don't even have propellers. As it happens, I prefer clear discs for flying aircraft, but I think the choice should be mine.
