Walk like an egyptian

 An Egyptian warband for Silver Bayonet, gnolls werejackals and more black dogs. The Egyptians are all plastic, and converted from various bits from various manufacturers. 

First we have a sapper, my officer, a junior officer and a bedouin. The sapper has a Perry zouave body, and arms and head from Warlord's Desert Rats. The musket is a zouave one though, and not the original Enfield. The Officer has a Frostgrave sorcerer body, Frostgrave knight arms, and a head from the Desert Rats. The Junior Officer has a Frostgrave cultist body, arms from Warlord's Pike & Shotte storming party, and the head and the end of the blunderbuss (it's a trumpet) from Gripping Beast's Arab Spearmen & Archers. The bedouin has a body and head from that Arab box, and arms from the P&S storming party.


Next we have two Janissaries, with bodies and heads from Perry's zouaves, and arms from the P&S storming party. The third guy is an Egyptian conscript, just built from Perry's Ansar box. The last guy could also work as a conscript, but he is in fact a Champion of the Faith. I see him as a poor village priest or something. He's made from a GB Arab body and arm, with a head from the WG Desert Rats.


These gnolls will work as werejackals. Simple and easy build and paint job.


Last we have two more black dogs, since you need more than one for the Italy campaign. 3D prints from Greenstuff World, so very cheap, but the tail broke on the standing dog when I tried to remove it from the support, I'm not totally sold on printed resin.

Thanks! I've used almost half a box of the Arabs, and this is the closest I've come to make a real Arab. :D It's a great box for conversions, I've built robot slavers, fantasy NPCs, scifi NPCs, nazguls and probably more. Click around on the blog and you'll see most of those. :)
