Although it would be a dream come true I doubt 28mm will ever be made.
I think there would be market for 28mm Egyptian but not sure how big. I thought museums shops and likes could sell them??
I would have thought plastic chariots to difficult to make but Games Workshop manage. Unless future technology makes it cheaper I will just have to dream or find some money to commission my own. |

I was hoping the new Victrix release would be Persians, but I guess that was a dream too. |

There have been a number of companies making biblical figures in 1/72nd scale. |

Wargames Factory did just fine with their Celtic chariots, so I think they're feasible as a 28mm hard plastic range these days, but time will tell. |

Years ago, Atlantic, an Italian company, had 1:72 or HO scale New Kingdom Egyptians.
They were absurdly cheap. Until they weren't. 
I never got any. |

Atlantic also made some large ones; I bought a box of somethings,don't know where they are now,but large chariots. Maybe Greeks and Trojans…70mm? |

I should think Egyptians would work, or Assyrians. And Persians are rumoured… |

The 1/72 scale is well catered for is soft plastics and must be quite popular.
Would the release of 28mm hard plastic Egyptians pull in new people to the period I wonder? |

I am a little suprised some one hasn't tried plastic Egyptians in 28mm. |
