Egyptian Spearman of Division Amun

 

Red is the color of Division Amun in my scheme. 

Some of the men in the front rank have drawn their kopesh, the famous curved sword of the Egyptians. 


These are Newline Designs figures, purchased during their annual January sale earlier this year. 


These are excellent figures, as I have noted previously!


Trecking across the desert sands in bare feet must have been interesting; I imagined they developed one heck of a set of calluses!


The magic wash did a nice job of bringing out the details of these figures.

    Newline figures are terrific. I like your color scheme a lot on these fellas.

      Thank you, Jon. I like them a lot as well; too bad the postage is so brutal now days.
      I have a bunch of Newline and Old Glory Indian figures to paint for the end of this year.

    Very nice looking unit. I agree that the red and yellow look great. 👍 My feet are aching just thinking of those callouses 😬

      Thanks; I can imagine them having "Thickest Calluses" competitions! :-)

    Once again, good choice of colors for such simple uniforms. The wash does help bring out some of the details, good it does not overly darken the unit. You must be approaching complete lists for your H-Con game.

      Thank you, Joe. Yes, indeed, just a few figures left in the Egyptian expansion, then some Libyans to do... but before that are some more Napoleonic British for my Fuentes game.
