Egyptian Fantasy

• Bast Warriors with Polearms This set contains 4 Egyptian style female cat warriors (32mm). Some *might* call them Bast warriors or something similar. They come with standard Eureka slotta bases. Two stand (hunched) receiving with either a spear or polearm. One stands fully upright hurling a spear over head, while the fourth stands with spear sort of uprightish in the right hand with left arm drawn back as though waving the other girls on. All figures are spindley limbed and generally hunched with growling hairy cat faces and prominent back ridges.
• Bast Warrior with polearm 2 (1) An addition for the above set
• Bast Warrior with swords (5)
• Bast Warrior Command (3) - This set contains 3 Egyptian style female cat warriors (32mm). Some *might* call them Bast warriors or something similar. They come with standard Eureka slotta bases. All figures are spindley limbed and generally hunched with growling hairy cat faces and prominent back ridges. The officer wears a traditional Egyptain kings crown with a cobra on the front. She wears a loin cloth, and is armed with a short sickle sword, which she waves over her head with ther right hand. The left hand points forward. The standard bearer sis basically the same pose, except the sword is a short broad bladed, flat ended on, and the pointing hand holds a standard topped by a small semi circle imposed over a larger one. The misician stands blowing a simple trumpet, her right hand holding a short broad bladed, flat ended sword at her waist. All figures are good, in line with the other figures, and paint a treat.
• Bast Warrior archers (2) - This set contains 2 Egyptian style female cat warriors (32mm) armed with bow. One stands drawing bow back and aiming up as though doing a ranged shot. The other has just loosed her shot, the bow held casually, the right arm cocked and posed as though she just got a hit. Nice characterisation with these two and their snarly hissy faces. Slotta base
• Bast Warrior Berserker - This is a single male figure, with prominent facial mane. He wears a king plate with circular medallion. He wears a loin cloth. He has a great snarling face and his arms are outstrecthed ready for a bear hug. Great figure. Slotta base
• Hawk headed warrior First variant, 32mm eye height. The warrior comes without arms, which come separately in several alternatives, being simply the same arms as the previously released Anubis warriors. These are: 2 handed holding double ended double axe, single handed holding double ended double axe, 2 handed holding man catcher style pole arm, single handed with short sickly, Egyptian square ended wide bladed sword, single handed semi circular toothed axe , and the matching left hands of empty, large semi circular topped shield, or smaller semi circular topped coffin shaped shield. I believe weapons are supplied randomly. The single handed weapon arms are all bent at the elbow, as are the left hands. For more clarification refer the scans of the Anubis warriors. He stands advancing or in combat, right leg forward. He wears a small kilt over which hangs at the rear double layers of leather straps (like feathers) with three similar strips at the loins. Across his shoulders/neck is the metallic shoulder collar similar to the Anubis warriors but abit more chunky, with what looks like a three toed claw design at the throat. The anatomy is basically human, but with a 3 toed bird foot with a rear spur, and the head of a hawk. Sculpting and animation clean and crisp. Paints well. More warriors in the hawk style are likely
• Warriors of Anubis - 4 variants (35mm) plus spare parts. The figures represented is a jackal headed Egyptian warrior, with a small loincloth and belt and an Egyptian style metal "shoulder pad" style armour. Otherwise they are unadorned (no boots, shirt, dagger scabbard etc) except for their headdress. It appears to be made of banded metal. The warriors is less elaborate than the offciers and only covers the back of the head with a bit of flare across the neck. The four warriors come without arms, which come separately in several alternatives. These are:2 handed holding double ended double axe, single handed holding double ended double axe, 2 handed holding man catcher style pole arm, single handed with short sickle, Egyptian square ended wide bladed sword, single handed semi circular toothed "axe", and the matching left hands of empty, large semi circular topped shield, or smaller semi circular topped coffin shaped shield. Using the double handed weapons, I ended up with 2 spare weapon arms and one spare left arm, allowing you a bit of variation of weaponry with the poses. All weapon combinations can be fitted to any of the four bodies. The single handed weapon arms are all bent at the elbow, as are the left hands. For more clarification refer the scans.
• Warriors of Anubis officer - 1 variant (35mm) The officer is a one piece casting. The figure represented is a jackal headed Egyptian warrior, with a small loincloth and belt and an Egyptian style metal "shoulder pad" style armour. Otherwise he is unadorned (no boots, shirt, dagger scabbard etc) except for the headdress. He wears a partly pharonic headdress with a tail that falls across each shoulder.He stands with right arm held up above his head waving an Egyptian flat-ended broad bladed sword. His left arm is held down and bent at the waist, with his fist raised. His pose is basically facing forward, legs apart, and yelling and waving his weapon as though threatening or taunting the enemy, or issuing the order to charge, which is how I recall you see him in the movie before he leads his horde scampering across the desert.
• Warriors of Anubis new arm variants being three arms holding arrow, 2 single arms holding a bow, 2 single arm spear variations, 1 double arm spear variation, quiver, single sickle arm
• Anubis Warriors Command This set comes with 2 figures (30mm). The musician stands left foot forward, blowing a rather simple long trumpet. The trumpet is not quite attached to the face, so the arm can be moved about abit. His right hand holds a one handed sickle sword at his knee level. As per the rest of the range, he wears the metallic head crest, shoulder armour and stylised loin cloth. The standard bearer stands right leg forward, hunched forward, with his left hand back holding the standard back at abit of an angle. The standard comes in two parts, the bottom half attached to the figure from ground to hand. The upper half sits in a tiny dimple in the hand. I would prefer the whole standard was separate, and the hand cast open, or be drilled out, so that there is a stronger connection. My attempts to neatly attach this sort of thing has never been brilliant. I'll probably end up cutting the hold staff off and drilling the standard top out and attaching a length of wire or long toothpick. He is armed with a thick bladed blunt ended Egyptian sword which he holds down at his right knee. The standard top is a thick circle topped by a jackal headed sphinx. These guys have slotta bases. Usually I get the large 1" circular ones, but these guys have the regular small Eureka standard slotta bases. If it matters, ask when ordering
• Egyptian Skeletons - 2 variants plus 1 mummy
• Mummies - Eye height 27mm Three more variants of the Egyptian shambling mummy. All one piece castings. All figures are heavily bandaged with loose linen and are shuffling forward with long claws. Casting and animation are good, and there is plenty of nooks for shading, highlighting and washing.

Greek

• Centaurs (4) Here we have 4 traditional Greek centaurs. One looks like the original healer centaur, with a length of cloth wrapped around his arms and behind his back. He stands quite casual. He has a rather Greek face, curly hair and beard. Pose 2 is an archer standing firing, with a separate plain short bow. He has no quiver. Pose 3 is also an archer, standing casually reaching behind him to draw an arrow from the quiver on his back. His right arm is held down in front of him to hold a separate plain short bow. Pose 4 I take as a test cast, as he is completely bald. He stands holding a 2 handed spear pointing forward on his right side. Eye height for all 31mm. They are all based on the same horse body, which stands casually. The horse is not very stocky. Posing is very simple, and very plain. There are no adornments on the figures except as noted. They scal eperfectly with the older Ral Partha centaurs
• Satyrs (4) All are based on the same lower half, which is your typical satyr look. All figs have beard with short curly hair and convincing Greek look. Figure 1 advances aggressively with a tasselled spear. Figure 2 is advancing with a length of cloth wrapped around the left hand, and he holds something in his right hand I just can't make out. Maybe it's a grenade! Figure three holds a club vertically, around which is growing a vine. Eye height 26mm

Skeletons

• Hoplites - 4 variants
• Horse - 3 variants
• Medical dummy/plain skeleton *not scanned yet*
• "One Piece" Cavalry (1) Here we have a skeleton attached to his running skeletal horse. It's called one piece as the rider is fixed to the horse, but there is 6 parts to assemble, being the horse body and rider, two rider arms, two horse leg pairs, and horse rear hips. It also comes with a cavalry metal slotta base. The horse and rider look good, the only adornment being a saddle cloth, so they are pretty generic. The arms are from the Egyptian skeleton range, whose main fault is that they are particularly thin.This allows penty of variation, but not alot of strength. I received a wire wrapped spear and Egyptian coffin shaped shield arm variation. A unit will look very unique, but I wouldn't want to drop them. For variety, buy a set of GW plastic skeletons and swap the arms, as you will have plenty of spares from the box set and the scale is just about right. Not for beginners, fiddly assembly required.

Zombies

• Zommbies (10) - part 1 - part 2
