Infamy Egyptian Archers - Newline Designs

These seem to have been hanging around for quite a while but finally make it off the paint table, great additions to the New Kingdom forces from Newline Designs.

I was spoilt for choice when it come to a potential archer unit, when looking at the choices Foundry felt a little to irregular and more suited to skirmishing. Warlord were a little too thin leaving Newline who gave a good mix of head gear and a sense of mass.




The newline regiment packs represent good value, a touch heavy on the flash, I lost a couple of casualties when trying to straighten them, they do seem a little weak at the ankles, but overall a good fit with the existing forces.


In terms of the stats for Infamy, I see no reason why they would differ from the Hittite main body so the following stats will apply.

Next up the Egyptian Leaders make there way on to the paint table.

    1. Still wading my way through the last of the Ancients, leaders to go which should give me enough for a battle.
