Dark Fable Egyptians and Nubians and Foldio2
« on: July 13, 2015, 09:20:27 PM »
I have taken part in a few Kickstraters and Indiegogo campaigns. One of the best campaigns was Dark Fable IV, delivered on time and nice figures. At the same time I also backed Foldio2, which is "the first pop-up studio for your smartphone" (according to the KS campaign). The Foldio arrived today so I wanted to try it. The Foldio is pretty good because it gives good lightning when you take pictures (good lightning is not something we are used to in Sweden, not even in the summer).

So I took a few pictures of my new Dark Fable miniatures. All figures are good or very good sculpted, but since they use a few different sculptors it also depends on personal preference. I have no idea what to use them for. I am into Hellenistic stuff, so they will maybe be used as the Ptolemaic pharaohs.  Or maybe not.

Wow, fantastic job on the Egyptians and Nubians!  I would imagine the Ptolemies might have worn traditional pharaonic attire when travelling outside of Alexandria, especially if they were performing some type of ritual visit to a temple or meeting with the native Egyptian priests :D  There are also several instances when the native Egyptians revolted against Ptolemaic rule and tried to re-establish an Egyptian pharaoh - they too probably wore the traditional Egyptian regalia.
