phalangistes, macédonien et égyptien.

Superbe !

They look great!

But I think you already showed us these, though I forgot where...

Hallo
That's all I like :-)
Hoping that the set will be available for my next order in January.

That’s a surprise indeed! Never thought of Egyptian style Phalangites!! It will be a great asset to my troops 🤓😉

I was right! :) You showed us this picture before, and I did not dream it. Look at the link.

NEW RELEASES

Also there are two other pictures there, that I have uploaded to this post :)

Thank you very much for your great effort in the production of new Andreas figures.

I love this Egyptian-Ptolemaic phalanx set.

Hopefully all the news will be available soon. It would make a nice Christmas present.

Thanks for showing off new figures for the set, and thanks for producing them in the first place :)

Très belle prooduction!
Un jeu de figurines assez "atypique" mais indispensable pour reconstituer par exemple la bataille de Raphia !
Un jeu que je compte bien acheter avec la cavalerie samnite,même si le set napoléonien est aussi très bien reussi !!
Bonnes fêtes à tous les participants de ce forum...

Hello Cernief,
I like your
profile picture.
A Mycean warrior?

Pyrrhus321, it is. It is from a book that made me fall in love with Ancients and their history. It depicts their uniforms, as they were believed to be, back then. It is a scan from it. I have seen it in foreign languages as well, but, it is a Danish book, called orignally "Krigsfolk gennem tiden" (Which means "Warrior people through the ages") by Niels M. Saxtorph, and the drawings are by Stig Bramsen. The figure is numbered 69, and along with the one numbered 71 called "Pansret Sværdkæmpere" ("Armored Swordfighters") from the Age 1200-800 before Christ. The book is from 1971.

EDIT: It is the same book as "Warriors and Weapons of Ancient Times" published by Blanford.

EDIT2: You might be able to get a preview here: https://dokumen.tips/documents/warriors-...-ad.html?page=1

And for the accuracy of Ptolemaic phalangites ? I have a doubt.

The book (being from 1971) has a more dated idea about how things were, of course, but it is nice to read in, once in a while. I got my own copy, before I inherited the one I had been reading in at my grand parents home.

Are there any ancient depictions of ptolemaic native egyptian phalangists? I only know the MONTVERT Edition of "The Ptolemaic Army" by Nick Sekunda. This is about 168-145 before Christ about the along roman lines reformed army. There is only one depiction of an native Egyptian-Lybian Machimaoi sword fighter, no pike fighter. the phalanx was equipped along macedonian tradition - sarissa, pelte shield, sword. This mostly depicted "Linen Armour" seems fine to me. Egypt produced linen.

What are Your concerns in detail?

Thanks Misterred and Cernief for your answers..
I just wanted to know if it existed a depictation of these soldiers and as well which sources or books Linear A used in his work..
In anyway,a good project!
Have a nice day.

Sometimes accuracy is overrated. Sometimes not. I recently looked at the review on PSR for a set that they said had an accuracy rating of 3. That set, the Greek Warriors from Atlantic. In my opinion it is a good set, but when reading the review, I could see how it was wrong. How for instance the hoplite using a throwing spear was definitely wrong. In case of this set I guess it is because they meant it more as a "toy" than an accurate depiction. Still they did make a Trojan set too, and I don't recall that being as bad, historically.

Anyway: My point is, that sometimes leeway is taken. In this case I guess we might be getting an interpretation of how things could have looked. I too have a doubt about the "Egyptian" headdress being used at this time. In fact I think I remember it being mentioned somewhere, though I can't recall where. I trust though, that this will be a good set.

EDIT: The Trojan Army set got an accuracy rating of N/A, because they had no evidence of how they looked, and that the Shields and Greaves on figures looked out of place with the time period. It is still a very sought after set.

Wow, very nice :)

These will be another wonderful set of phalanges Andreas!

Thank you and compliments of the season to all at linear-A

Regards, James
