'The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold...

24th Jan 2026

The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
 

And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee

 

Yes, after a ‘short’ period lasting only a mere three years from the first announcement, I am delighted and, to be honest, relieved to be able to announce the release of our 6mm range of Assyrian warriors.   But first, this week’s order number that stands at #33932.  

So what of the purple and gold cohorts?   I’ve previewed most of the new codes over the last few weeks, but now you can see them all together.   The army has a solid core of guard, regular and auxiliary spearmen,

supported ably by missile troops,

cavalry,

and of course, the famous Assyrian chariotry.

To all of this, we’ve added a rather nice General’s chariot plus a vignette set incorporating a mobile shrine, attendant priest and scribe, all accompanied by a model of the King and a guard.   Lots of potential for some dioramic bases .

For those of you who like to let us do the work for you, we have also put together one of our ever-popular army packs.

You can find all the details here: https://www.baccus6mm.com/catalogue/BronzeAgeWarfare/Assyrians/

The Vapnartak show at York is now only a week away as I type this, so I will repeat my request for your to get your wish lists for collection at the show to us as soon as you are able.   We are going to be low on some areas of stock, so please do let us know in advance so you can get what you need for your 2026 projects.   We will have stocks of the new Assyrian codes and army packs with us, but as these are going to be very popular, once again, get those collect order to us!
