Suggestions please! Pharaoh in 28mm.
« on: January 25, 2025, 12:14:57 PM »
Hi all

I find myself in need of a 28mm Pharaoh, on foot if possible.

I'm looking for something reasonably historical, not in a chariot and available in the UK. Oh, not a mummy, either.

It's for an OGAM army, so I'm aware of the Northstar one but, y'know, chariot...

I've also seen the Lucid Eye one but that might be a bit too 'heroic", and there's no pictures of the one Newline sell.

So any other options? Pretty please?

Hi Romark

Yeah, like I said, I've seen that one and it's a great figure but it's a wee bit too fantastic.
Also, aren't the Lucid Eye figs on the larger side? How would they scale with Northstar's Kadesh range?

Thanks for the reply though it's still on the list of possibles. :)

Ooh, I like that Xyston one, thanks.
Do you know what he looks like from the back? Since he's bow armed, I wonder if he has a slung khopesh or something?

Or failing that, can you get loose ones anywhere?

Here's one I painted earlier.  Well, years ago actually.   ::)  (No khopesh)

Oh yes, that'll do nicely.

Thanks very much for that and great brushwork as alway OT!

Just to be double awkward though, does anyone know any manufacturers of loose Egyptian style weapons?

Croc games used to do weapon packs, might be a pain to get hold of though.

As a random thought didn't the GW tomb king skeletons come with Kopesh-ish swords would one of them off a bits seller do or would it be too stylised.

Dunno about stylised, but I'm willing to bet it would be too big...

I'll have a scout for the Croc Games stuff though, thanks.

My Egyptian army is almost all from CP Models.

https://www.checkpointminiatures.co.uk/product-category/28mm-ranges/28mm-ancients/new-kingdom-egyptians/

Not the best, but quite a cute range!
They mix well with the figures from North Star (those are very nice)

I’m pretty sure they do separate weapons?
If not, get in touch, as I have bag of spare bits n bobs.

There's also Dragon Bait:





The whole Egyptian range is good, larger sized 28mm.

Crocodile Games also do a fantasy Egyptian theme.
