NKE-11B3 – Egyptian Infantry, Battle of Kadesh | John Jenkins Designs
A great ancient army depended upon numbers, and NKE-11B3 adds another Egyptian infantryman to the ranks fighting at the Battle of Kadesh.
Ramesses II's army was organised into divisions traditionally identified by the names of major Egyptian gods, including Amun, Ra, Ptah and Seth. These formations became separated during the approach to Kadesh, contributing to the crisis created by the unexpected Hittite attack.
While royal inscriptions placed Ramesses at the centre of the action, ordinary infantrymen bore much of the burden of maintaining the Egyptian position as the battle developed.
For collectors, the different NKE-11 variations make it possible to build a substantial infantry force without every soldier appearing identical. Arrange them in groups around standards and officers, with archers behind and chariots moving alongside.
Available through The Military Workshop – a versatile John Jenkins Designs figure for adding further depth to an Egyptian army of the Late Bronze Age.
