Update on New Kingdom Egyptians

Sculpting work continues on the New Kingdom Egyptians. Still some work to do but we were interested in receiving feedback on them. The plan is to have a box of archers and a box of spearmen/hand weapons. These will be part of our First Empires range.

I agree , they are looking too heroic/ fantasy. Would like to see more "classic"" cloth headgear. I am not sure about the beard either as they are not depicted on Egyptian only their enemies on the wall depictions.

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’re a bit buff…..

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

Not my range… but they look awesome…

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?
