Nubian Mercenaries - Infamy Infamy

The first mini's out of the blocks for 2021 and the start of phase two of the Kings of Bronze Project. The Nubian's make an appearance. I was able to persuade the family to include a couple of packs of Foundry to the wish list and a quiet lockdown Christmas allowed me to get a lot of prep done before kicking off the new year with a few hours of uninterrupted painting time.

First up a 6 man skirmish unit. The Nubians were noted archers and regarding by the Egyptians as the best scouts and skirmishers and were found in Egyptian armies across the empire.




Next up a Warband of 10 Warriors armed with mixed weapons of javelin and war clubs.



As usual great sculpts from Wargames Foundry they really do stand the test of time, these two units will be a great addition to Egyptian forces and give them some variety on the battlefield.

I have added the adapted Infamy stats if anyone is interested for both the skirmish unit and the warriors.

  3. Well done getting your family organised Stu - mine insist on coming up with their own ideas, which is all very well, but.....its not REALLY the thought that counts at all, is it?! Nice looking units and a great way to kick off 2021.

    1. Your so right Keith, how often did I hear "Why can't you find something on Amazon?" :-) Doing my bit for small businesses is my response.....
      Looks like another 2 months of painting time with another lockdown in the UK announced tonight.
      Cheers
