Blemmye Cavalry and More Infantry

 

Here are some Blemmye cavalry and more archers and javelin men for my 15mm Blemmye and Nobotae army. Figures are by Forged in Battle and Donnington Miniatures. The Nobotae king with the crown next to the standard and the cavalry figures on the left are Donnington, the rest are Forged in Battle. It's been pretty quiet on the gaming and painting front lately, I had a stack on my mtb and hurt my ribs so haven't been up to much for a while. I now have enough painted Blemmye for a Lion Rampant game and have some Forged in Battle Middle Imperial Romans as well as Legio Heroica Late Romans to paint and use as opponents.

Blemmye so far - elephants, cavalry,
archers and javelin men

Blemmye Elephants, Spearmen and Archers

Here are the first dozen bases of my 15mm Blemmye army for MeG. The elephants, spearmen and archers are all by Forged in Battle. There is not a lot of information available on the Blemmye, my two references at the moment are the Osprey book by David Nicolle, Rome's Enemies (5) The Desert Frontier and Phil Barker's WRG book The Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome.

If you're interested in 15mm, Forged in Battle are just about to release, on Friday 28 April 2020, their Dark Ages ranges which includes numerous armies, as well as buildings, ships, transfers and additional packs for existing ranges. There are some great looking ranges there so check out their website.
