New Kingdom Egyptian Spearmen

 






Here are some New Kingdom Egyptian spearmen of the 19th or 20th dynasties that I've finally finished painting. The figures are by Wargames Foundry, sculpted by the Perrys. The back drop photo was taken in the Valley of Kings at Luxor in Egypt on our trip there in 2009.

    1. Thanks Michal, the Foundry and Warlord NKE are the two best 28mm metal ranges around.

    1. Thanks Jonathan, I just print the photo on A4 paper and put it behind the figures and base then take photos. It’s very low tech!
