These are lovely figures, but what other ranges are comparable in size and sculpt style?
Please

I would take a look at Lucid Eye, Dark Fable Miniatures and Black Tree Designs Bronze Age ranges. Foundry and Warlord are on the smaller side of 28mm.

Blacktree Design pulled their ancient ranges the other year.

They still have their Romans, though.

There was no word given as to when they would be reintroduced. They are still, sadly, having issues fulfilling orders.

The Warlord Games ones are nice but  slim.

Eureka miniatures have some great Egyptian/Fantasy miniatures

I messaged Blacktree about this the other month - and apparently they will be reintroduced in a Kickstarter at some point soon (there may have been something about the molds needing replacing).
But given BTDs reputation, and the limited accountability of kickstarter, I think I might just have to pass

The Dave Toone Miniature Design Studio figures might be close? They are now owned by Minifigs/Caliver.

I had a bunch of those at one point. They were very nice, small though, a good match with Foundry Egyptians. Last time I looked minifigs were only offering the Egyptian axeman I don't know where the archers and spearmen went.

On Topic - I *think* Steve Salah sculpted the Northstar Egyptians. So his Lucid Eye range is likely to be similar in style.
Not sure if he also did the Warlord Egyptians too?
