Some spare figures are drafted to serve in the Army of Egypt.
A unit of Skirmish Archers in the red of Division Amun leads the group.
Behind them is a General in the yellow of Division Re.
the Archers are Foundry figures, and the General and his companion are Newline Designs.
Finally, two undifferentiated Old Glory Archers can serve as Heroes wherever needed.
This completes the Egyptian expansion, and the Hittite expansion project was finished earlier this year. I have some Libyans to paint up by Historicon in November, and will likely start on them this month.
Quite the journey,have fun at H-Con "with all his chariots and charioteers."
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Hopefully Historicon comes off as planned. I still give it a substantial chance of cancellation if the delta variant surges too much in PA.
DeleteGreat work
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, Neil.
DeleteMore well animated and attractive figures. Always nice to see a project completed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary. The culmination of the expansion, itself prompted by the Hittite and Sea Peoples expansion triggered by Bill McHugh's figures, and prompting the Libyan expansion. A Bronze Age arms race!
DeleteNice conclusion to your Egyptian force!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain! They should be getting a lot of play the next several months.
DeleteNicely done Peter. Were the spare figures originally designed as Egyptians, or were they drafted in from other nationalities (they certainly look like Egyptians to my eye)?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence. Yes, all are "Egyptian" sculpts!
DeleteThese look great Peter. Excellent composition for the photo too. I especially like that command stand.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thanks, James. The Newline Designs figures are excellent. We'll get to see some more of their sculpts with the upcoming Libyans, and then some Indians as well (probably at the end of the year or later).
