We have some more Ancient Egyptians armed as more traditional light cavalry. Note they are on bottle caps as my friend will be mounting them to suit his game.
These came from the same package as the archers interestingly they were unarmed (possibly a sling but I think it was supposed to be the reins)
So I cut the reins and right hand away from the legs they were attached to, pried the arms away, drilled a hole in the hand then add a wire as a spear/javelin. Finally I found some buckler type shields from my bits box. With that unarmed scouts are now serviceable light cavalry.
It was a lot of fiddly labor but well worth the effort. I painted these up for my friend Arofan who does all my 3D printing and I was happy to do it as unofficial 'payback'. There was a question about what dynasty my friend is doing, he referred to them as
Saitic Egyptians (AKA the 26th Dynasty). They Liked to cosplay as Egyptians from the Good old days of the New and Old Kingdoms.
There are ten 28mm mounted warriors here adding 100 points to my total. This may be the last big submission of the challenge but I will probably have a couple of small entities (more 1/2400 ships if I can get some Brush time.
Great unit of light cavalry Adam. Love the blue details and headgear. I hope that they serve your friend well. Peterd
