From Mike W - More Medjai Warriors

Following on from the recent test batch of Medjai Warriors i have now completed an additional 9 figures plus a Command figure for the opposition 'Arab Cultists'.

The Painting process was exactly the same as previously described in previous posts.

The finished group of figures

One of the little guys has been painted as a leader for eth Arab Cultists who will be working with the evil forces of the undead to raise the former high priest Imhotep. These guys are working in alliance with German Archaeologists who are looking for ancient artefacts that would imbue power to the fledgling Third Reich.

A leader of the Arab Cultists

Arrayed against them are the Medjai, traditionally known as the Pharaoh's Bodyguard, who have sworn to guard the Pharaoh's interests over the centuries. Imhotep's raising from the dead would inevitably result in the raising of the Pharaoh's Armies to be used for evil purposes.

Medjai Heavy Weapon's Team

What next for this project - well definitely some Archaeologists (German, British & American), some more Afrika Korps plus transport for the same. Thinking a Kubelwagen, a truck and a multi-turreted tank of some sort!

Three Medjai with assorted weapons

Arab Cultists & Medjai will need mounted versions, on horses and/or camels and then probably I'll need a number of regular Arab figures as will - not all Arabs are Cultists or Medjai!

Another three guys, the one in the middle with a German Stick Grenade

The one thing I have plenty of is Egyptian Undead, just waiting to be raised! But there is a couple of chariot models that I need to complete sometime.,,
