Buenísimos, si sacáis carros junto con la infantería sería increible

Love it. I would agree their a bit too buff. Ive been waiting to do new kingdom Egyptians for years!!! Is there any way that the archers can be mixed in with the main box??

These are way too “buff” for either Bronze or even Iron Age. The poses are ok but the need to be thinned out a lot. Other than that, they look great!

These minis are almost perfect. There is however a very big problem : the position of the quiver.

Try carrying a quiver on your back this way and catching arrows… you’ll see what I mean. The quiver will automatically slide backwards, making the arrows inaccessible.
The thing is only possible thanks to a three-points quiver, a very recent innovation (20th century and… Legolas).

During the battle, the Ancients carried their quivers to the side, under the arm, or on the lower back, like native Americans (see “Lakota Quiver Demo” on Youtube, for example).
The period illustrations on Egyptian monuments are clear too.

In action, it’s the only realistic way you can walk, run and stop to shoot with maximum comfort and efficiency.

They look great. If we get Minoans or Ancient Sea Peoples, I’ll definitely get into bronze age wargaming.

Love that you are including Axes – I will be getting these for sure. Will all of the arms be interchangeable with all bodies? I likely don’t need 50% bows.

What are the plans for Chariots?

I think these look wonderful and I’m very excited to get some. I think I agree that some of the models look a touch too muscle-y for a bunch of conscripts who are mostly eating bread and beer.
I think if you added some different head options this could also be used for the Kushite kingdom. Or some bearded heads to make semi-Egyptianized Hyksos- there’s already appropriate weapons in the set.
