15mm Saitic Egyptian 664-525 BC

Saitic Egyptian was the last DBM army I started way back early in the century just before DBM sort of evaporated, started but never finished. Here I am twenty plus years later dusting it off and trying to get it into some sort of presentable shape in order to play DBA and Triumph, preferably at the triple command sized army. 

When I abandoned this project it looks to have been close to three quarters done with most of the foot completed along with a small pile of chariot bodies and some of the horses.

The plan is to shade and highlight the old figures and (I just can't be arsed stripping anymore, it's always such an ugly mess  ), where able, mix them in with new figures on all new bases.

Chariots

What will be the model for my line chariots (I think another four to go plus three Generals).

Had to paint over the chariot bodies, there had been some sort of frosting fiasco which may have contributed to me abandoning the project way back when.

Levy spearmen

I now have a total of 16 bases but still have some raw figures left, if I still have something left in the tank at the end I'll try and expand it to an even twenty.

Half old figures, just shaded and highlighted as mentioned above and the other half fresh new lead.

Just finished the first batch of 16 Hoplites I'm tentatively thinking of using with this army, old Essex Etruscans, again half old and half new. Not sold on their appropriateness, so may switch to some Minifigs mono pose guys who look the goods but are a teeny bit slighter (would work well with Gladiator Hellenistics) than, compared to my chunky Essex guys, than I'm comfortable with.

At the moment, just prepping my next line chariot.
