Out today are more miniatures for use in the armies of the Akkadians, Amorite Kingdoms and Sumerians, amongst others. These latest Early and Middle Bronze Age releases are just a few of many coming from our partnership with Cutting Edge Miniatures.
Nomadic Levies or auxiliaries drafted into
the City-State armies of the Early and Middle Bronze Age. They were
known variously over the period as Martu, Amurru, Aamu or Amorites. They
often formed part of the regular light infantry force in City-State
armies, such as in early Babylonian armies where they were classed as
the Sabum Qallatum. The figures are armed with spears, javelins, axes
and carry an Amorite shield. The shield was made by stretching an animal
hide over a wooden cross frame.
We suggest you mix the figures from all
three packs for an irregular look. Separate units of Axe Infantry and
Spear/Javelin Infantry can also be formed by mixing the appropriate
figures from all three packs.
Conversion tip: Many of these
Infantry were also armed with throw-sticks and it is very easy to
convert them to wield this weapon. Simply cut off the Javelin or Axe
from the right hand, drill a hole with a pin-vice through the closed
fist; insert an 8mm length of wire, (about 0.5mm diameter), bend it
slightly and you have a throw-stick. The job takes only a few minutes to
complete.
