Libyans vs. Egyptians, 2200 BC
My son and I played two battles of Triumph! This week using the Ancient Libyans and the Early Egyptians. The setting was 2200 BC, the time of Neferkare of the 6th Dynasty towards the end of the Old Kingdom. The Libyan forces were nineteen Rabble tribesmen, with two Skirmishers and a Warband general....

15mm Hyksos
This 15mm army represents the invading troops of the Hyksos people, who overthrew the native Pharaohs in Lower Egypt through a combination of migration and military power and established themselves as the Fifteenth Dynasty of Egypt for more than 100 years ( approximately 1650-1550 BC). They establis...

15mm Hititte Camp
The ideas for this camp came from the excellent Osprey book “Hittite Warrior” by Trevor Bryce. Bryce characterizes the Hittites as placing great emphasis on constant vigilance. Part of this effort was the construction and manning of watchtowers on the frontiers. The book has an illustration of just ...

15mm Hittites
The Hittites were rulers of most of Anatolia (in what is now Turkey) and one of the great powers of the ancient world for about 500 years, starting in about 1700 B.C. Their wars of conquest took them as far as Babylon and Syria all the way to the Egyptian frontier. Their army was characterized by a ...

15mm Gutians
This army represents the highland warriors of Gutium in the early Bronze Age. The location of Gutium is not known for sure, but it is presumed to be in the central Zagros Mountains in what is now Iran. They were known for ending the Akkadian Empire in about 2200 B.C. and bringing a short “dark age” ...

Re: Ach. Persian camp ideas ?
I have an idea for one that I haven't completed. It will be 12 stands of levy troops based as hordes. So maybe 10 figures per stand on 40mm x 40mm bases (15mm troops). These will be packed together in a 6 x 2 rectangle to make the camp. The idea is to represent the masses of troops from around the e...

Re: Brian Boru's Camp at Clontarf
That is an excellent camp. I like the way it is composed, with musicians, retainers, soldiers, and a banner all arrayed around the king at the center. Also putting the figures at different heights looks good.

Re: My 1st Triumph army
This army is impressive! The painting is excellent and the basing really complements this army, especially because of the big pike formations and elephants.
Also, the terrain matches well with the look of the army. Where did you get that green grass mat?

Re: Zagros Highlanders (Lullubi) vs. Elamites
In answer to the question about how much fun the armies are to play: These early-era armies are fun to play because of the extra challenges. There are not a lot of powerful troops, so getting the most use out of the more effective stands is important. For example, in this set of battles the Lullubi ...
