First Canaanites Painted

I FOUND it difficult sourcing suitable Canaanite infantry for my biblical project, until I came across Pendraken's Great Fyrd Anglo-Saxons from the company's 10mm Dark Ages range.

The spearmen, suitably painted, would clearly make ideal Canaanites, and so I ordered four packs of 30 figures.

The order arrived in one large pack, but unfortunately there were only 119 figures.

However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as I made up the shortfall with a leftover Assyrian standard-bearer.

His distinctive appearance, having scale-bronze body armour, will come in handy should I need to designate one unit as of superior quality to its brethren.

The 'Assyrian' is in the front row of the unit on the extreme left

I have been steadily painting figures for my project, but I have been doing it largely without a specific plan, painting more-or-less what takes my fancy.

So I reckon it is time to go through what I have ... and what I still need.
