Midnight at the oasis, part the second

 Set up a small skirmish with my Lamming Egyptians…



Pharaoh gets ready to lead his army into battle against the rebels…

  3. I thought your oasis caught that classic look too.
    Civil War in Egypt - couldn't they just have one crown each?

  5. Lamming (possibly not that early spearman pose!) always have a nice, chunky, solid feel.Bill and Renee Lamming were two of the nicest people in the hobby.

    1. I do like the look of Lammings. I wish I had met them properly. I think they served me at a show way back in the day.

  8. Agree with the others about the Old School look. Morschauser meets Grant.

  9. What an absolutely splendid looking game. I have some 15mm New Kingdom Egyptians in the painting queue for DBA, they won't look half as nice as these I'm sure.

  10. Thanks. I am sure your chariots will look resplendent when painted. The Lamming are pared down and simple. Something l find charming and perhaps not a little nostalgic.

  11. Those old Lammings do have a real charm, don't they? And as others have said, the b/w pictures certainly give them that 1970s/Charles Grant look. :-)

    Cheers,

    David.
