Title: Suggestions for Pteppicymon XXVIII or Pteppic
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 31 May 2020, 01:21:59 PM
So,
As I'm building fantasy Egyptians, what would you suggest for Pteppicymon XXVIII or Pteppic from Pryamids by Pratchett?
Don't mind converting, but need a 10mm Assassin.

I suggest a small diorama of Pteppic, Ptraci and You B'stard the cam .... mathematician.

Maybe one of the Greek Psiloi spearman or slinger (with weapon replaced by a dagger?) for Pteppic

Keira for Ptraci

Seated camel from the Sudan range for You B'stard

Yes indeed, but what to use!

Is there a picture of what you are looking for?

There is a good Assassin figure in the Warmaster Araby command pack - but that could be both expensive and difficult to get hold of

I thought the camel was rather fetchingly attired myself...

Camel actually is the easiest bit, they're in the catalogue.
Indian Mutiny Indian civilians have a possible Ptraci, if her vase is removed, or Keira...
Pteppic is the issue, an assassin in wide brimmed hat. Looking at ranges...

ACW59 has a potential candidate with the chap with his arm raised.
EC5 and 8 also have interesting possibilities
