Having posted the assembled Hittite warband last week, first up of phase two, the leaders for the Hittites.
The officers are a mix from, Warlord and Newline Designs, I have not come across the guys at Newline before but they have a wide range of figures for a number of ancient armies and are a lower price than their Warlord and Foundry counterparts.
The Newline castings mix in well with both Warlord and Foundry, they need some cleaning up, with excess flash under the arms or the underside of the base and in some cases the hands need drilling out to insert the weapons, but once based and painted you can see no real difference and do add some variety to the Hittite forces.
The Hittite officers are in bronze mail shirts and come with a number of shield options. Front row L-R Newline, Warlord, Warlord, Back row all Newline.
I have based them on the new command bases which I have custom made from Warbases. All I now need is to get a game in.
Next up Hittite Guards.
Those are very nice Stu and I know a lot of people like the Newline figures. Keep an eye our for their sales which happen a few times a year.
ReplyDeleteSome nice castings Steve with some good poses, lost a couple due to weak ankles when working them back into place, but overall good value for money especially when a discount is available.

Very nice work Stu - many Bloggers make positive comments about Newline and these figures do look the part!
ReplyDeleteYour so right, they paint up far better than the initial impression from the web site and unboxing... good job really as I ordered quite a few lately.. :-)

Hi Stuart- Nice work there on the Ancients. Is there any chance that you may do some 'Martian Empires' 15mm Battles like those you did in 2016...very interesting games you produced and I like many others would like to see them all again. Best Wishes. KEV.
ReplyDeleteSo many projects Kev, so little time... Definitely worth an outing perhaps once we get back to F2F gaming next year.

Super results, Stu! Like you, I am a big fan of Newline Designs’ figures. I am waiting for the January sale to restock existing projects and buy figures for a new project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan they really do present value for money.
