Fantasy Egyptians in 10mm

First force of lockdown an new-old project - and now completed (completed - verb - wargamers, thinking they've done).

Pendraken Fantasy Egyptians that will become a Saitic Egyptian army for MeG and now the army is finished.

Latest batch, final units and loads of terrain! 20 Diamond Dogs - skirmishers with javelins.






240 Greek spears in 4 units - shiled transfers from the awesome Baggage Train




This is just one units of them, a highlight of them, as they represent the shades of the underworld.


Slight tilt so you can see the eyes


Side view of the cloaks


Rear and out of focus


General Amenthes








Ptepic, Ptraci and the Discworld's greatest mathematician - Youb****ard!


Terrain by Scotia Grendel
Before I trashed them...


After muddying the terrain looks better.
Small tomb front




Larger tomb front




Pylons




Fallen piller




Two bits of terrain/characters for other games. Thanks to Drew at Studio Bergstrom for finding these old sculpts from Eureka for me. Guarding the Stargate!

Really like the way these came out, Jaffa looking mean and moody, or are they painted colossal statutes?

Jaffa are awesome

Jaffa on guard

Bit more work on this army.

Converted 40 Pendraken skeletal archers to Egyptian archers


Headdresses and loincloths added


Cheeky top view


Unit at full strength with the stand I painted previously


Twang!


These are the guard archers - 48 converted with added headdresses and armour


Certainly look menacing




And on these, with Phil's advice, I sculpted armour


Skilled, protected, drilled archers, yes please!


I also fashioned some wound markers from rising dead and dungeon corpses.




I based up the Stargate






Chariotry and generals/mages done, this was quite a job.
The batch


All archers had loincloths and head scarfs fitted, all mummies had their hands drilled and spears fitted. Chariots are actually Elven, and have had their yolks extended.
Red squadron






Blue squadron


It's a smaller squadron as the army only has ten chariot bases.


First stand of foot archers, need to order a lot more and convert them!




A stargate, that will form my army baggage element (thanks to Drew at Studio Bergstrom for this)


Reverse
What else could I use as my baggage

Either generals or magic users (if I use them for fantasy MeG), two with various Pendraken items added to bases, and one with spare converted archers.


This also reuses my original mummies from the army. Seniority has its privillages!


The army, so far!

Line linfantry update! Ordered some extra 'Pharoahs undead tomb guard' from Leon, and now I have my two units of average Egyptian spears.

The present batch



The four extra stands for my original units, taking them to six stands.



 The new unit, night and Anubis themed. Was two figures short (coz I can't count) but added a casulty figure to fill the gap!

Marching under the desert sun.


All the infantry at the moment

And teh whole army so far, this will expand shortly! Four TuGs done.


Old Glory 10mm Egyptian light cavalry, acting as Medjai*. A gift from a friend as he could not use them.

MeG has a catagory of 'flexible' for troops that can switch between skirmish and formed troops. Here they are deployed as light horse skirmishers.




Deployed as formed




(oh come on, Medjai, they're cool, I looked at the one historical source for fantasy Egyptians, The Mummy [1999], hence the dark grey uniform nature of these guys)


These are a lovely little range, buried in the Pendraken catalogue, so beautiful sculpts.

Slight rebase/additions to the units, ready to annoy serious MeG players as these are going to become a 26th Dynasty list.

Annubis warriors rebased (one base) and five more bases added,









I added the blue war crown and longer cross braces on the chariot.


Eight originals rebased, and eight more added.


Pharoahs Undead Tomb Guard: The blue has not really shown up.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Mortal Gods

Footsore recently released this rather fun game, based around 28mm skirmish fighting in ancient Greece. Tried it at Campaign, then got a set for my birthday from Manny and Rob at Boards and Swords . This month's batch of Mortal God's figures, some new, some old. Athenians - bought when the rules first came out in 2019, just after doing evveryone elses's stuff, I had lost the mojo to do these, plus my Thespians have been serving me well. But, with the great shed tidy, and continued popularity amoung my friends, it was about time. The Athenian set had lead heroes, and plastic hoplites/peripoli, but I decide that I can use any of my other hopilites to fill in for the citizens, and that actaully, I sould get on with the lead. Athenian Marine hoplites - regular state troops, as opposed to my irregular Thespians Top down With Athenian shields from the boxed set Ready to go Regular, armoured, marine archers "Hit that one!" "No, that one!...
