New Kingdom Egyptians - compatible ranges?

[tuco74]

Hi everyone.

I'm interested in starting a New Kingdom Egyptian project, but I'm struggling to work out which ranges would work well together.

I like the look of the Foundry range (and have never bought Foundry before) any suggestion as to what would scale with them would be very useful.

My New Kingdom Egyptian collection is made up of mostly Foundry and Newline Designs. They both work together pretty well.

Also look at North Star Miniatures

The Foundry ranges are excellent and have the advantage of complementary ranges (Hittite, Assyrian for example) that will blend right in.  I have found that newline and warlord (I?ve only compare the sea peoples) ranges blend in.

I don't have Foundry Egyptians but do have Newline, Foundry and Warlord ( ex Cutting Edge Miniatures) Sea Peoples and Hittite figures and they do mix OK together size-wise. The Foundry figures are beautiful, as are Warlord's but I find the Newline cruder and less well-detailed. They also vary more within ranges. I think the Newline Hittites are very nice, their Sea Peoples are much less detailed. That said they are much, much cheaper.  A Foundry chariot retails at ?18 whilst Newline are on sale until close-of-play this Sunday the 23rd at I think ?7 per chariot or ?18 for a pack of three. If you need a lot of chariots I would certainly look at their chariots/chariot runners and maybe spend extra on Foundry infantry. I have no experience of the Northstar figures but suspect they are bigger and heftier as the Foundry models are Perry sculpts going back to the late 1990s.

Really useful responses everybody, thank you.

I would mention two other ranges.  One is by "Checkpoint Miniatures". Quite a small range of some "fat" looking Egyptians, but at ?9 their chariot is fairly cheap vs Foundry. There is also a 3d printed range by Red Copper Miniatures.  I know these are sold by Lancer Miniatures here in UK plus other people. I have no idea how they scale vs Foundry but if you drop the owner of Lancer a question I'm sure he will get back to you pretty quickly. Annoyingly the range isn't complete but it probably does cover the main troop types you might need.

Thanks very much for that. I actually saw a comparison shot of Checkpoint against Foundry and thought they looked pretty close, maybe in separate units though.
