Hi all,

I am looking to try and build a NKE army using 1/72nd Caesar plastics. I appear to have chariots, egyptian spearmen, bowmen, close sword fighters, nubian bows nubian javs, libyans, sherdan royal guard etc all available in their range.

Hammy has already advised me that for a 650 point army I may need 12-16 light chariots and 3-4 general chariots.

How about the other stuff??

Are egyptian spear MF?
I guess the Bow are MF
Sherden royal guard MF or HF?

I am guessing that there was a beta NKE army list? Is it still classified or can someone show it now?

If it is still classified, how about an "extract" from it showing the most typical troops types (and of course the most effective troop types).

Ta

Andy

There was one. It still is, but i gather it went through some changs.

There is a full discussion of this somewhere. But the answer is the NKE Bow is MF. The "spear" or close fighting foot are also MF, sword, Light spear.

I think the Sherden is one of those evolving things.

I think 2-3 BGs of 6-8 Bow and comparable numbers of close fighting foot.
