HITTITE WARRIORS AT THE BATTLE OF KADESH 1274 B.C.

This battle was the earliest battle in recorded history for which details of tactics and formations are known. The battle was between Rameses II of Egypt and the Hittite king Muwatalli II.
The latest additions to the range are 2 Hittite warriors each with a choice of 2 different weapons arms.
The next addition to the range in fall 2015 will be Nubian archers more Hittites or Rameses II.
Current focus is on another battle in history which I don't believe has been adequately covered. Anyone who correctly guesses correctly will receive the first painted figure as a prize!
Good luck




EGYPTIAN INFANTRYMEN AND ARCHER AT THE BATTLE OF KADESH 1274 B.C.

Pictures of the latest 60mm matte painted figures which will debut in Chicago. They will be available exclusively from Michigan Toy Soldier.
There are now 17 different Egyptian infantrymen, Sherden and archers available.
Infantrymen have a bronze breastplate, cotton tunic or are bare chested. Each has a choice of 4 weapons, spear, dagger, axe or khopesh. The archers are firing, released arrow or reaching for an arrow.
There are 2 different Sherden warriors. These were pirates captured about 1278 B.C. by Rameses renowned for their fighting abilities who later fought for the Egyptians either as slaves or mercenaries. Please let me know what you think of the figures which will also be available as unpainted kits.
