Some chariots and archers.
Heavy infantry.
Nubian skirmishers, of course, and Philistine mercenaries shouting their dreaded warcries "The audience should be allowed to sing along", "Love stories need happy endings", and "I like Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare!"
Very nice work FK
Libyans and more chariots. I'm a mediocre painter, but the figures are nifty. Note the one Pendraken figure in the army; a converted Japanese monk (I think he's one of ours?).
No, he's not. My mistake.
Nice workFK! 8)
I think you are doing yourself a disservice. Looking at the pics, all the colours are in the right places; where colours meet the joins are crisp and neat and the colours are nice and bright which is just what you need for 10mm. And anyway, they are your little chaps so if you are happy with them then two fingers to the rest.
To me they look great! And i dare to guess they will look even better in an army shot? ;)
Yeah I agree to they look really good
Take care

May Ra smile on all of you for your kind remarks. :)
Flesh, by the way: Philistines are a mix of Sakura pale orange (= Caucasian flesh) and white, Nubians plain burnt umber, and the rest pale orange and yellow ochre, slightly reddened with burnt Sienna. I'm guided by the tomb figures that everyone has seen and by Egyptian writings, and do not intend to chase the "Were the ancient Egyptians black?" red herring further than I could swallow a football.
I'm a sucker for chariots, nice one FK 8)
Very nice indeed!
Great work FK!
Thanks for posting the pics too. At least I have some idea what some of the Newline Egyptian range looks like. Don't know what it is with 10mm figure companies reluctance to put photos of their products on the listings (Leon?!...cough?!cough?!) you'd think they were ashamed of the figures!!!
Are the Philistine figures Newline too?
Carry on and keep knocking out the inspiration!
They are. There are just three MM chariots and one converted Libyan in the mix.
Nice to see these. At my last show I bought a bag of spear and a bag of chariot from Magister Milium just to see how they will look. I think I will do these next after my Union ACW. The line of chariots look great. Thanks for showing.
Very nice Egyptians, what rules have you based them up for? I recently bought some of the Newline Trojan and Mycenaean's, also very good figures.
Very nice, FK !

Home-grown rules, but bases are about DBx size. If you'd like to have a look at the rules, drop me your email.
I wish you hadn't headed the thread with 'NKE'.
I keep thinking it's a spam thread advertising a certain brand of sporting apparel. :D

They look cracking, especially so at "battle distance", en masse, ready to kick some Hittite or Sea Peoples up the kilt :D
They'll be a bit more modern than that. Consider them part of the Libyan-dominated period so they can go head-to-head with the Assyrians.
Ok, kick those murdering Asiatic upstarts up the Qurubuti ;)
Point taken about NKE, but remember the Hellenic roots of "Nike". I can't just call them Egyptians, since I've also got Khedivals and Ayyubids.
Did egyptian chariot fit in a 20mm frontal base x 40mm lenght base ?
My bases are 4cm wide by 3 deep, I think. I find that Seleucid scythed chariots need a deeper base. Haven't tested the Assyrians yet.
