Great work. Love the cracked earth effect on the archers.

I assume that the figures are 1/72?

Thanks  :)
Nearly all my figs are 1/72nd except some 60mm Barzo, 54mm Italeri and some 28mm Perry´s.

Fantastic I am really pleased to see this especially because it is 1/72nd of which I am a big fan and all the more so because of any of the snobbery and I am busy with some Egyptians too - so please do post more pics especially of the chariots and Nubians. Enemies of Egypt would be good to see too at the moment I am having to play essentially Egyptian civil war type games. Have you done any buildings and or terrain to go with them? I would love to do some boats/ships for marine like actions along the Nile. I have been also wondering of late how big a 1/72nd scale pyramid would be? I see Nexus manufacture many of the old Atlantic sets.

Thanks.
How big would a pyramid be...??? Pretty big even in 1/72nd I imagine.
I did do some scenery but only a little is left over;

There used to be all sorts from Atlantic, the pharoahs boat, sphinx etc..all now collectors items (I used to have thier entire Ancients range..now all gone  :'() Luckily I have all the figure ranges.
For enemies there are some here;

but the caeser sets seem to have a short production run (unless it is WWII german infantry that is  ::))

I once planned for such an army for Warmaster Ancients... never got around to it...  o_o

Sorry about the resurrection, but, somehow, it does not seem quite so inappropriate regarding egyptians  ;)
