"What figures for Memnon of Aethiopia? Penthiselia?" Topic

My Trojan War ksirmish project has been languishing for a while, but I do have the figures.
The main "Greek" and Trojan heroes are well served by Old Glory, Foundry and Redoubt.

But, there are a few Foreign Johnnies that are notwell covered.
(Neither are the Olympians, but that's another story.)

For Memnon, I use a Lamming Egyptian Pharoah's chariot, and Foundry Nubians for Himself and his retinue. Those new Warlord Games Kushites look intriguing.

For Penthiselia, I have some Eureka amazons, but nothing looks all that … special, as a princess.

What figures do you use for them?

Or, even Rhesus of Thrace? I am thinking of getting the Foundry Bronze Age Warriors if I can get a second morgage on the house.

I'd look for a torso swap between a greek rider on a horse and a Boudacia (sp) figure's upper "works". The horse should have a leopard skin cover.

Perhaps there is something suitable in the old Minifig's World of Greyhawk Amazons:

How about Bronze Age Miniatures, although the armour looks a bit too modern, but what the hades?

Shadowforge may have something in their Dark Temple range shadowforge.com.au�

Check out Cutting Edge Miniatures for some alternative troops

Some manufacturers have produced female Scythians – one of those might be a decent starting point for a conversion.

Bull Dancer made some nice mounted Amazons in Scythian inspired outfits. They were true 25mm. I don't think they are available any more, so you'd have to go looking on Bartertown or e-bay.

Not the right figure for Penthiselia, but it is well done. Perhaps she is Memmon's companion
