Nubians Caesar Painted 1/72 25mm soldiers miniatures figures Nubia Kush

 

I managed to photograph some other soldiers this week , and now I am only left to take pics of some Medieval Russians, of all the pre-gunpowder soldiers I have painted. As the theme is hardly suited for this hot conditions, I think I will leave those to take pictures much later or in studio .

Anyway, lets get into details;

Browsing which figures I should paint, of my myriad of soldiers, a good few years ago, I chose the Nubians, as I had too many ancients in dark green, that made wargaming battles awkward, and so that they look more proper, as they are some of the soldiers that improves more when painted. The set is a bit on the boring side, and so I made a few modifications. My principal criticism is that the figures themselves, the faces don't look african, they look to me a bit semitic. In this respect, I prefer the Hat Nubians, at least for the faces.

Anyway, the main modifications was making a diplomat, as in some egyptian frescoes, and giving some weapons besides archers, as they had to battle with something when in close combat! far too many archers! and I tried to break a bit the uniformity, main issue with Caesars, reducing or adding feathers, etc.

Without further ado, the Nubians! in battle against Nuba peoples, which although very similar, must not confused with them , depicting some of the battles in their southern frontiers, lost now to history. These are Airfix and Hat figures, which I will properly take pictures at some other time .
