Infamy Shock Markers - Hittites.

I have hit a touch of painters block of late, staring at the same 16 Egyptian archers who have been staring back at me for over a fortnight. Time to switch to something else to get the juices flowing.

I do like a mini diorama to hold my shock markers for Too Fat Lardies games. 


Rather frustratingly the guys at Foundry do a split pack of Hittite causalities and civilians, but a complete pack of dead and dying for the Egyptians, I had hoped to trade the civilians for more dead and wounded but they were unable to break the pack up.... A shame as the civilians have limited use at the moment.


It did mean that I had to create a couple of extras from some of the spare shields and spears from the recent Newline purchase, Still the dis-guarded weapons do compliment the wounded rather well and give me enough bases for the first outing.


Might just have to watch Exodus: Gods and Kings to give me that extra push....

  7. Hi Stuart- It is a bit of a worry that Foundry market their figures in packs- I spent a small fortune on getting the Officers I needed only to disregard the rest of the figures in the pack...thirty years ago Foundry sold everything as single items- much better way of doing things. Hope your surviving the present Lockdown there. Regards. KEV.
