Rebasing/reviving New Kingdom Egyptian army progress

[SJWi]

I agree that the Foundry NKE are still the best around. I thought about buying an army during their Christmas sale but the cost of all those light chariots put me off. Maybe one day! Both Assyrians and NKE are now available from RedCopperMiniatures as 3d prints, and sold commercially by Blitzkrieg Models in UK.  RedCopper's own website also lists Hebrews, Sea Peoples and Hittites. As sold by Blitzkrieg the infantry are about  £1.25 each and the light chariots £18 each, so the latter are just as expensive as Foundry's metals.

I have a soft spot for Hinchcliffe & recently picked up enough infantry off e-bay for a DBA army,
but the chariots!?!?! Then I found CP Models

Not brilliant & they come without crew (you can order seperate figures from them) BUT...
£8 a throw 
The crew I will use some of the spare Hinchcliffe infantry.

Has been, thanks for the tip-off about CP. I'm not a huge fan of their infantry but get by with their chariots/crews. As you need a lot of them for an NKE army £18 is a hell of a cost.

You are welcome. I am not s great fan of their Infantry, but as I said, £8 a chariot and
I'll be using Hinchcliffe spares for the crew.  Now to find a nice opposition army,
but most of the nice ones have chariots too!

Cheers all!

Yep, chariots. They sort of stalled the project for a while. I've got 9 so far - 1 Foundry Command, 4 from Warlord and 4 from Newline. As you could probably imagine, the Newline, while serviceable, look like tanks compared to the slight, faintly graceful Warlord ones. So it was a bit of a stall as I was a bit frustrated by the stylistic difference and regretted not sticking to more compatible miniatures brands.

I've been trying to convince myself they'll look OK together in different divisions :-)

Here's the first chariot - one of the Warlord ones.

[Easy E]

Looking good.  I like the chariot runners on the base too.

Could you relegate them to opposition (to the Egyptians) e.g. Hittite?

That chariot looks really great.  I'm sure the Newline ones will be fine.  At least good enough to flog for a decent price on eBay if they don't match.

Or Canaanite subjects/allies.

I bulked out my Canaanite-Syrians with cheap Egyptian chariots from Irregular Miniatures, with replacement crew. I figured that the smaller city states would have a bit less uniformity in manufacture than the monolithic Egyptian war machine...

Could you relegate them to opposition (to the Egyptians) e.g. Hittite?

Hmmm. A couple of local gamers have Hittite armies already, but it's an interesting proposition... I might think of using for maybe Libyan chariots.

Began some Medjay skirmishers, still to finish basing

The recent skirmishers were an experiment with that new Army Painter Skin Tones set, the Sea People are Andrea Flesh with washes, and the Egyptians are based on the Foundry North African Triad with extra washes and shadows and highlights by Andrea
