Magister Militum Mitanni

10mm Mitanni, all now finished.
A little favoured state in Wargames, wedged between the Hitties, Asyrians and Egypt, one of the first nations to use chariotry en masse under a feudal system, and under MeG quite tasty with skilled bow chariotry, and lots of it! Some is even superior too!

Found my missing chariot that was going into my camp, so here it is!


REME anyone?

Ohh, that will cost ya!

Chariot on its own.

It is now safely glued on.

Here, after a good few months off this project, it the army completely finished. All figures are Magistar Militum, and I've had some fun painting these.

One elite chariot that had escaped last time, taking my elite count to 16.


Six extra vassal chariots. Average chariots to all the MeG fans out there...

Drive by shooting?

'Line' chariots, as good as the vassals, but different crews.

Well, not all are as good I guess! 

Making up a TuG

Generals, you can tell, they have accompanying foot figures.

At present, this unit of  Alik ilki spearmen is surplus to requirements, but if the threatened point reduction for bows appears in the new year, they might well become a viable unit choice again!

Side view, so that you might see the might of the integral archers!

At Mark's suggestion, my camp, a REME workshop, with bar!  The Mitanni can have average fortified camps, usually quite an expensive proposition, but as I have already maxed out on chariots, I thought, well, why not?


Quite happy with how this came out. I will put a chariot on the ramp as some point soon.

A close up of the bar, which Mark insisted should be there, drinkers are modified horn blowers, some figures came from Graham's spares that I had painted for him, some from mine.

The whole batch. Due to chariots being multipart models (two horses, two crew, three part chariot) it felt like a lot more painting than it actually was.

Ignore the spare Wingerd Hussars and steamroller, but this is the whole army, fits neatly into two Tiger Cub deep file cases.

All ready for Warfare, in November! Eek!

2nd batch
9 more elite chariots


And two as they go past...

Either Aweluti qashati archers or Alik ilki archers


Extra Shukituhli


Alik ilki spearmen



Here’s the start of my take on them,

Elite Chariots



Vassels and Line Chariots

 

 Shukituhli - spear armed protected bows

General

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Bikers.

Bikers - 3d prints for Legion Imperialis Suspect there are menat to be more per base, but it suits my denuded them. I regret not doing one with plates! Brrrrrmmmm... It's all gone a bit Judge Dredd! Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks'...

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a...

AWI forces for Lee - 10mm Pendraken

Lee asked me to paint up extra forces for his AWI collection so he can also play 'Live Free or Die'. Lee's Hessians done, all figures by Pendraken in 10mm flags by Vaubanner . The column approaches. 1st Combined Grenadier Regt Top view In line Almost wide to deploy in line for my light box! Off they go Looking good Fusilier Regt von Dittfurth From up high Nice looking troops Column advances Just, go that, way! Sarge, we're going round in circles Grenadier Regiment Rall, at ease Thin blue line? The chords really make these figures pop Not sure they actually carried colours, but the pack came with a standard bearer, and after a bit of searching, I found something probable.  Everyone's favourite, the Jagers Blending in, almost Player's eye view The whole batch  British light infantry done and added to Lee's collection. Again, mixed facings as they were consolidated units. Top view Made of firing and advancing plus command figures Qu...
