North Star Egyptian size comparison

 L to R: Foundry Egyptian, North Star Kadesh and Foundry Trojan


More lead arrived today in the form of a lot of Egyptian Harem Miniatures.  I based one of the ladies and she will work very well with the new Northstar figures.  Following a review on The Miniatures Page I also took this picture, which compares the North Star standard bearer with a Foundry Egyptian and a Trojan,  The North Star figure is a lot bigger (28mm foot to eye as opposed to the 24mm of the Foundry figure).  He also has a very chunky base.




However, he works much better with the new Egyptian Harem Miniatures.  Realistically I am never going to build two chariot period armies but some Egyptian skirmishing by raiding Sea Peoples after the odd piece of Egyptian totty might work well.  Especially as some of these figures might appear in an In Her Majesty's Name game!  Hence the round bases.

  1. Heroic is the word for it! Nice all they same.

  2. Thanks for the comparison shots - the North Star figure is very nice, but good to know who they fit (or not) in with other makes. Possibly a good size with Crocodile Games stuff.

    1. I've got some of the Sea Peoples from the same range so it would be interesting to see if they are the same size or whether he is a one off heroic figure.

  3. the standard is far too big even for the size of the figure. Egyptian standards were not much taller than the man.

    1. I think the figures so far in this range were designed for The Osprey of Gods and Mortals fantasy rules.

  4. A worthy minder for all those scantly clad recreation operatives.

    1. Exactly! He may well find himself in Victorian Hampshire rather than the ancient Nile!
