Turkish field artillery

While I wait for the arrival of the next order of 6mm equipment I have been scouring the boxes to see what else I could use to flesh out the WW1 projects. I found a number of German artillery pieces sitting unused in a box of what I thought was surplus 6mm WW1 models and figures, and a little research showed quite a lot of the Turkish artillery was in fact supplied by German manufacturers. 

An easy decision, as the Middle East Turkish forces had no artillery yet. So.. a full division's worth of 77mm Field Guns for the Turkish army.

Roman Gods eh?

The mythical Roman army (using those long since painted and discredited Airfix Roman legionaries) has sat around for quite a while. The original legionaries were painted in 1974/75 as the start of a Roman army for WRG Ancients 3rd Edition.

I painted up some beasts bases last week, and the army had another addition today: a God in the form of a 54mm Roman Tribune figure courtesy of friend Andy.

The idea is not original (friend Nick created a cool Roman army a decade of more ago). It did however seem to be such a good idea, that I ought to do the same. When creating HotT armies I generally try to create a different combination of elements to the other armies I have, and I don't have one that is largely blades/beasts/God. This is it. There are some warband and spears to come.
