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.

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...
