In association with my pseudo-Trojan War project, I was goofing off on youtube and ran across this presentation by Dr. Eberhard Zangger on the Luwians: YouTube link It might be interesting to some of you who, like me, are wrestling with the historical context of the Trojans and their allies. |

leadasbestosblog.blogspot.com I've got a Luwian project going too, details here. Always after some good info, or a few words from those with similar interests! Swampking, any details of your project? |

This project will probably be my last wargaming project – getting a bit too old to paint 15mm but it's going to be a massive one: 80 archer/javelin chariots & 1300 infantry for the Luwian confederation, plus Amazons 60 archer/javelin/lance chariots for Acheans and around the same amount of infantry as the Luwians but I will give them more *punch*, i.e. they will have more heavy infantry than the Luwians to offset the Luwians chariots. Plus, I have been trying to work out a way to do a city like Troy on the cheap but that will be the last thing. Been buying figures for the past 6 months or so but also, work and life keeps on distracting me from painting. However, I'm expecting to finish off several contingents within the next couple of weeks. |

Wow, massive project alright. I'm betting it will look amazing when finished. |
