Aegyptus August 02- 3 Anubi Archers

 

I've had a handful of Anubi Archers painted for a very long time. It was only 4 which is not even half a unit. They have mostly taken part as stand-ins in Asar archer units in the past. There have been 6 others primed ready for painting for a decade or more. Now it's time to bulk up the unit. That's where these 3 guys come in.

I like to make my Anubi purple because most other people make them black. I have lots of different purple paints and mixing some colors gives me subtle shades of dark purples like on these two guys (they both had totally different paints used)


The color most of my Anubi figures have on their clothes is green so these guys got some green accent colors to fit in with the original archers. 

Here we see the original 4 including their captain with the sword (possibly my favorite Anubi sculpt).  The lightest one was done at a GenCon paint'n'take a very long time ago. The others were painted at the same time as some of the Asar archers. 

Here's the newly finished 3 with the original 4 (new guys on the left). I've got another 3 that are primed and ready to go but I'm not sure they'll see any paint before the end of Aegyptus August. And I just came upon 4 or 5 more bare metal in my massive WarGods naked metal box...
