My hittite army comes from a number of sources. I started collecting it in 1986, when the only manufacturer was Chariot Miniatures. The quality of the figures was aweful (They are somewhat better now) but it was all I could get. Then about 97 - 98 I started renovating the army by buying lots of replacement chariots, mostly Essex plus some gladiator. (I have only photographed these newer chariots). Then in 2000 I painted up 10 elements of miscellaneously armed auxillia (DBM speak). These are the prettiest foot I have ever painted, though before version 3 of DBM were worthless in a fight!
