Yet more Hittite Spears - Newline Designs

Well they took longer than they should.....I really should be getting the last of the chariots completed but figured I would clear yet more Hittite Spearmen from the painting queue...This time two groups from Newline Designs.


These match up really well against the existing Foundry and Warlord castings, they come with separate shield and spear.. The spears are sturdy and are mighty sharp. They could do with being perhaps 5mm shorter, but do have a 'heavy' feel to them.



Whilst wading through these I thought I would clear a couple of spares which I would turn into a rally point for the Hittites or perhaps a command stand or musician within Infamy Infamy. 


Next up... Something else from the lead pile.....

    1. I think you have to be selective, these and the officer types were Ok, but a few were heavy on the flash, I will post up a comparison shot in the weeks ahead.
