Interesting. That one was published in Miniature Wargames in 1983.

Was it 1983? My copy doesn't have a date.

Pretty sure. It was the first wargames magazine I'd ever seen, and I bought it on arriving in the UK to study. The date is thus fairly iconic in my increasingly fuzzy mind.

That skin worn down the right side must be to compensate for the lack of a shield on the right to catch Assyrian and Cimmerian arrows, I suppose? Not the ideal material for armour, but then wicker isn't the last word in shield technology either.
