Having added so many units to the Peleset component of the Sera Peoples, it was only fair tghat I bolster the other major clan I depict, the Sardana.
These are Old Glory figures.
I had a few spare Old Glory Egyptian Sherdan Guards from a reorganization of their units, which I used to fill out the numbers a bit.
are basically similar troops; just a bit heavier leather armor, and a bronze disk in the center of the helmet top. Can you spot them?
The officer and hornist are by Newline Designs once again.
very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
DeleteNice work Peter. The black shield with the bronze is very effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. No act of brilliance, I was running out of colors to use for the different warbands, and while ahistorical, I like some uniformity in my units!
DeleteNice work
ReplyDeleteThank you, Neil!
DeleteVery flavorful. The basement workshop's been busy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Now I need to finish the battle that has been on my tabletop for a couple of months at least!
DeleteThe black, bronze and white look great together and very nice basing- very arid.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the black does make them look a bit more... sinister!
DeleteLovely figures Peter, and beautiful shields!
ReplyDeleteThe shields are plain, not no evidence they used designs like some later armies... easier to paint that way, too! :-)
DeleteGreat looking horned helmed warriors, Peter.
ReplyDeleteThe "horns" were probably bronze like the rest of the helmet (but who really knows), but I like them better with real horns. There should have ben plenty available back then from goats and the like! :-)
DeleteAnother splendid looking sea people's unit!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you, Iain!
DeleteThose look mean and nasty, great contrast of colours
ReplyDeleteThe horns and black theme does make them look mean and nasty, don't they?!
DeleteThese look excellent once more Peter. As others have mentioned, the black shields with the brass boss and outer ring are especially effective, as is the leather armour.
ReplyDeleteI really like Newline's 20 mm figs and these two 25s look really good too.

Thanks for the generous comments, James. The two "command" figures are Newline games, the rest are Old Glory.
DeleteI just primed a bunch of Newline Egyptians, and I have Indians to paint later in the year.
I've done those figs for a Hebrew army a few years back. I found them a joy to paint and a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed doing them as well, John!
DeleteHorns give a scary look and no doubt! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're "more than a little bit horny", to quote Harry Chapin very out of context! :-)
