I want to recreate King Narmers conquest of lower Egypt. I would like to do this in either 15mm or 1/72. However I will go with whatever scale will allow me to play. Anyone know of a model source for stone age warriors or a close proxy? Thank you. |

Warlord distributes some nice Cro Magnon figures link but in 28mm. You will need to scroll past the Amazons. Also, Neanderthals and Simians are after the Cro Magnons. |

Why would you think you'd need Neolithic types? Google search shows pretty typical early Egyptians for Narmer's period. |

From what I have read his army used stone weapons and bows. |

A careful pick of readily available old kingdom Egyptians and Nubian types should do it. |

You've got the archaeological juices flowing. Narmer/Menes was probably the first King of a unified Egypt. The dating, around 4500 years ago, is pretty firmly late Copper early Bronze Age. |

Like Nnascati said Namer is Bronze age. However if you really have an itch for the stone age Lucid Eye has some nice Cro-magnon figures. |

Common soldiers in early bronze age armies used mostly stone and wooden weapons. |

You could also take a look at Mick Yarrow figures in 15mm. They've got some types that would probably work. |
