Hot on the heals of the new Rameses II, I thought he needed a unit of Infantry to act as his bodyguard, I chased my Warlord Medals and these were free..... badged up as Marines the bronze over shirt gives them a quality feel over the regular infantry.
I thought about the shield colouring for quite a while and whether they should be painted or cow hide, there does not appear to be a definitive view on the shield colourings, Red's Blue's and Brown's appear to be readily available less so Greens and Yellows which I have seen on others gamers armies. Given I have given the close fighters red and blue for spearmen, Blue seemed the most logical with a bronze edging to separate then from the main body.
For those interested in the stats for Infamy, I have included these below, upping them to Elite Status and increasing there armour class and the cost of an aggressive attack.
New Kingdom Royal Guard | Type | Elite Warriors | |||
Points Value | 24 | Weapon | Mixed, Pila | Strength | 8 |
Armour | Step Out | Aggressive Attack | Characteristics | ||
Heavy | 2 | 1 | Drilled, Pila (2 rounds only), | ||
Until next time.
Lovely NKE figures, Stu.

Those are great Stu. I tend to go with colours that work well with the armour etc, rather than nescessarily historical accuracy, to make the units pop when on the table. The blue does this admirably and a nice shade too:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve you are so right, I recall looking at German Officer Uniforms as they each used their own tailors the colours varied wildly, which would look daft on the table.... and don't get me started on the Brits in the Sudan where the tunic's bleached pink in the sun :-)

Guards look amazing. That Warlord idea with medals is great, but has to be used wisely. In other way the unpainted pile grows! Happily, you know how to use it.
ReplyDeleteDamn those sales people Bart :-)

Very nice looking troops!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray.
DeleteThese look lovely Stu and I am sure Ramses will appreciate there above average appearance
ReplyDeleteFine, stout fellows to defend the handsome young king. I really like the blue on the shields.
