I knew that fish tank sphinx would come in handy…..

First of the Egyptian Spearman are off the paint table, I opted for blue shields for the core force with the close assault troops in red… I am sure someone in the blogosphere can tell me the significance of the colouring but I am quite happy with these guys from Warlord and the uniform colouring makes for a nice contrast to the Hittites.

In the background is a two man rally point, containing a standard and musician. These dedicated battle standards were attached to renowned companies of around 200-250 men such as the Splendor of Aten or Manifest of Justice – Now that has a ring to it…

Set out below is the unit record for Infamy Infamy and the associated points. Given the infantry of the day wore rudimentary armour of stiffened textiles and a large shield, I figured medium armour would be appropriate.

New Kingdom Spearmen				Type	Warriors
Points Value	18	Weapon	Mixed, Pila	Strength	8
Armour	Step Out	Aggressive Attack	Characteristics
Medium	2	2	Drilled, Pila (2 rounds only)

Next up the Nakhtu – Strong-Arms with their two handed axes….
