In preparation for my Historicon game in July, I have added a few more Libyans to my forces. 

These are Foundry figures once again. 

They will be allied to the enigmatic Sea Peoples in their invasion of Egypt. 

In To the Strongest!, they most commonly fight as “Combined Light Infantry”. 

They evidently had chariots as well, but I’ve never seen any manufacturer that made them, so that arm will likely be supplied by some Canaanite allies. 

Bronze swords and javelins were their characteristic armament, with a few bows thrown in. 

They have been described as wearing a “towel and jockstrap”, for obvious reasons!

In any event, I have depicted them with deep tans!

They are certainly colorful enough!

Another Sea Peoples warband; Teresh this time. 

Foundry figures; those wire spears/javelins are SHARP!

Described as “wearing tight cloth turbans”.

Like all of the Sea Peoples. there origins are obscure. Current theories include origins on Crete, or the Tyrrhenian Sea, i.e., early Etruscans. 

Whatever the case, they were a threat to the Egyptians, and allied with the Libyans at times. 

The arms of Portugal – Napoleonic Portuguese dominated the painting production 

In preparation for my Historicon games, here’s the first of several new additions to my Sea Peoples army. 

These are Foundry figures.

I got them in late 2024, using their annual Christmas discounts. 

Between tariffs and a big shift in the exchange rate since then, that proved to be a judicious move!

They are mostly treated as Javelin armed Warbands in To the Strongest!

Knowing that my plan for Historicon 2025 included several games with To the Strongest, I was very pleased to discover a Kickstarter for “Egypt Mythology” playing cards. While they failed to reach their funding goal the first time out, they succeeded on the 2nd try. The artwork is beautiful; the picture is clickable. I’m debating throwing one of the Court cards into one of the Egyptian decks at each shuffle, and having the card act as a chance card that might effect one or more commands on either side.  Something to think about!

They also did a “Black” deck, which is seen here. 

Finally, the 3rd Lord of the Rings deck from Jackson Robinson, “The Return of the King”.   Along with the two matched decks, I am now the proud possessor of a T shirt bearing the White Tree of Gondor, LOL! Perhaps zi will do a version of the Battle of Pelennor Fields at some point!
