Expeditionary Force Ancient Egyptian Figures a Review

Very pleased to inform you of the release of two new sets as follows:-

• 60 EGP 01                 Provincial Infantry, New Kingdom Egyptian
• 60 EGP 01-EP          Early Period Infantry, New Kingdom Egyptian

All models are supplied unpainted.

All sets are available for shipment by 24 July 2024, if not earlier.

The box set contains 9 model soldiers including 1 officer, 4 assault troops (spearmen), and  4 shooters (bowmen). These models are in the classical appearance of Egyptian infantry at the battle of Kadesh (1274 B.C.). The Egyptian army is divided into 4 components: War Chariots, Royal Guards, Army Corps (central army), and Provincial Levy. We will be issuing sets of all of the above in due course including the auxiliaries and enemies of Egypt.

Here is a photo of an Egyptian officer.

Egyptian infantry are divided into two tactical divisions: Assault shock troops (sword and spear) and Shooters (bow and arrow).

Here is an Egyptian with a sword and a shield.

The distinct features of Egyptian soldiers of this period is their head-cloth and apron protectors.

60 EGP 01-EP    EARLY PERIOD INFANTRY, NEW KINGDOM EGYPTIAN

The box set contains 9 model soldiers including 1 officer, 4 assault troops (spearmen), and  4 shooters (bowmen). These models are in the appearance of Egyptian infantry from the Middle Kingdom period to the battles of Ahmose, the expulsion of the Hyksos, and the battle of Megiddo (1457 B.C.). Of course, at a pinch, they could be used as emergency levies in later periods.

t this early period, the distinctive head cloth has not adopted. Instead, the soldiers wear a wig. The apron protector has also not been introduced. The shape of the shield is also different. 

You can do two different poses of the archers.

Army Corps soldiers with banded armor; and royal guards with studded armor.

For those interested in the Biblical battles, our Ancient Hebrew sets are also already completed.

A Personal Note from Scott

June 2024 has been a busy month for me. A medical check-up indicated that I had a silent heart attack sometime in late April or early May and that my heart had been injured. The hospital in Singapore put in 2 stents (angioplasty) for my heart artery. I am now recuperating in Singapore. My daily prescribed medication consists of 13 different pills. With so many chemicals flushing my system, I am stoned and in constant need of rest. I seek your kind understanding if my response to queries is delayed.
