Yes, these Egyptians are for the Neo-Assyrian/Kushite Egyptian period.<br /><br />The BTD Assyrians are a very good match against the Foundry Assyrians. I have no Foundry Egyptians with which to compare against BTD. The foundry Egyptians may be smaller.<br /><br />Appreciate your comments!

I have tried stripes but it can look great or messy. May just do odd figure as I like your look.<br />I am now confused. I have always liked Black Tree along with their amazing variety. I have been held back by them being too big next to Foundry NKE and Hittites.<br />I perhaps need to rethink. As my present aim is Chariot Rampant the task is not massive. Figures these days are just bigger. The bigger style figures do paint up well.

For the 25mm collections, a scattering of tufts help dress up the barren, brown ground cover for less verdant theaters of war. Of course, there are exceptions and earlier collections had no tufts at all.
