Title: Hafer Assyrians 30 mm
Post by: marko on July 22, 2023, 07:13:38 PM

For some time I have had the Assyrian siege tower on my want list for its supreme goofiness.  I believe it is a direct interepetation from a relief.  It illustrates the science of city taking as practiced by Ancient Assyria.

as well as a typical fine recreation by Angus McBride

Hafer figures seem to all be beautifully engraved and cast such that they are a pleasure to paint.

Also per normal Gianpolo Bistulfi has an excellent painted example.

Good stuff, much appreciate highlighting the Angus McBride print as well.  Admire his artwork.  Never tire seeing Mr. Bistulfi work.
