A strong core of infantry was the bedrock of New Kingdom Egyptian Armies. Advancements in weaponry and equipment after the defeat of the Hyksos allowed the military to become organized and composed of professional soldiers, rather than levy. Archers, able to strike from afar, and spearmen to defend them. This equipment and organization would serve them well in campaigns farther from Egypts heartland, such as the Second Syrian Campaign of Ramesses II which culminated in the historic Battle of Kadesh.
This hard plastic box set allows you to create twenty-four (24) New Kingdom Egyptian infantry, divided as 12 archers and 12 spearmen/swordsmen and including options for musicians, standard bearers, and command.
Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included.
