With WGA having announced in the past the development, production, and sale, of late roman legionaries with the lorica squamata, it got me thinking about bronze age armies, and the Hittites rather famously had heavily armored footmen, with knee-length tunics with bronze or near the end of the Bronze Age, iron. So, using the persians kit already avalible (of which blends nicely with the Dark Age Irish mind you), for heads, weapons, and shields, while using the dark age irish or goths for capes, I think you'd have a really compelling hittite warband using the spears from the Persians or the shorter swords from the Irish or Goths.
So, what do y'all think of this idea?
and here's a depiction of a hittite king in armor, with bow and spear not on a chariot which I assume meant that dismounted fighting happened in armor, if rarely.
