Next job is to sort out that mass of Persians. Not really wanting to start on them though. Fancy doing something Biblical next so I have armies for all eras.  Not Egyptians but any suggestions. Even non listed ones. can do some research and use whatever list is closest

Maybe Aztec/Mayans if the figures are available

The photos you posted are excellent Derek. Nice to see them all doen. Good work.

How about Nubians Derek?  Terrible army but easy to paint??

Or you could become a complete Philistine?

Mitanni.
Will also work for Syrian/Caananite city states and Hittite allies.
Lots of chariots, indifferent infantry.

Or
Hittite
More capable spear armed foot and if you believe in them, 3-man heavy melee chariots in addition to skirmish chariots.
Juries out on whether they were just normal 2-man with a chariot runner hitching a lift or dedicated 3-man melee vehicles.

Been having a look and fancy the Mycaeans.  I do like the look of the Z range from Museum Miniatures.  Not completely decided yet though.  I am torn as its not that much different from other Armies I have. Possibly a bow army may be next.  Possibly one of the Chinese ones or an Indian type army.
