I'm considering getting a 15mm Mitanni army. I see that Magister Militum have the Chariot range figures, Black Hat have the Gladiator figures, and Essex have some figures.
For the chariots has anyone seen the Gladiator ones by Black Hat? They have more range in their crew, including a command option. The Chariot ones by Magister Militum are nice, but only two options (MIT1 & MIT2).
The foot has a number of options:
Spearmen (3Ax or 4Ax)
Archers (4Bw or Ps)
Javelinmen (Ps) - either Hapiru or Bedouin javelinmen
Levy (7Hd)
The Chariot range consists of two figures, a spearman and an archer (MIT5 & MIT6). These are one pose and in kilts. I'd like a bit more variety, especially as there's a horde to do. Magister Militum suggest a Sumerian javelinman for the Bedouin (SUA5), and I think some of the Assyrians provide variety to the spearmen and archers -- kilts and no helmet, as well as the same shields (EAS2, EAS12 and EAS13). I really just need a few more figures for the horde, preferably with wicker shields and with kilts. Any suggestions?
The Gladiator range has nothing. I guess I could use the bi45 and bi 46 from the Gladiator range, Canaanite and Syrian spearmen and archers (although they show swordsmen for the spearmen), and the bi14, Bedouin warriors with javelin. Between the three of these packs I'd be set for all the above, especially the horde. Does anyone knowing a bit about this period have any better suggestion?
Has anyone seen the figures by either of these manufacturers for either of these armies and want to offer an opinion on them?
