I'm starting to paint an Assyrian army, and am looking for a good source for the heavy infantry. I'm modeling my army after Tiglath-Pileser I 1050 BC and do not want use Neo-Assyrian Empire figures. It seems wrong, like using Late Romans for Republican Romans. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Magister Militum do a Middle Assyrian range -

Hi,
Essex Miniatures have a good range of Middle Assyrian.
especially the Asharittu and Hupshu references.
PUNCH
The 'Middle Assyrians' are of the late Bronze Age 1500-c.1000 BC and therefore would have resembled such armies as Mitanni. The ranges of Essex and MM dubbed as 'Middle Assyrian are actually early Neo-Assyrian.
Thank you for confirming what i thought. Purchased Essex Late bronze figures Mitanni and Hittite
If you read the text of the WRG Stillman and Tallis carefully in the Mitanni or Kassite Babylonian sections it is somewhere in there
