Just wondering what figures anybody would recommend for these infantry in 15mm
I've looked at Armies of the Ancient Near East 3000BC to 539BC and effectively it's somebody with tunic, bare legs, round shield for infantry with javelins and no shield for archers.
So I'd be interested in recommendations
Essex ANK26 (https://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/products/ank26) looks to be based on the AANE drawings, or on the same Phoenician metalwork as AANE.

Yes that looks spot on thank you. Is there an archer equivalent?
Doesn't seem like it.
ANK29 (https://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/products/ank29?_pos=1&_psq=ank29&_psid=ab437d263&_ss=e), being nominally Kushite Egyptian, might be suitable, but there's unfortunately no picture.
FWIW, it's one of the two archer codes included in their DBA3 Saite army pack. The other one, though, is dismounted Ramesside chariot archers, which isn't really encouraging as to the degree of historical pickiness that went into putting the pack together.
Pity there's no picture :'(
I do have some of Lancashire Games Kushites https://www.lancashiregames.com/lg0/ab76-archers-advancing.html
in my Kushite army but none of them have that sort of tunic.
