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.
