Seeking Egyptian ships
Fellow gamers,
I seek what may be prove difficult to find. I am hoping to build me a Tomb King navy for Man O'War. Since that fantasy race is colored with Egyptian motifs, I wanted to use Egyptian naval vessels (pre-Roman period... ideally New Kingdom period) as a base for my conversions. Does anyone know where I can obtain such ships?
Thanks much!

There were a couple "Egyptian" style ships in the Dreadfleet game.

Look at playmobile historicals. I know, it's insane. But with a little work they're great.

I did pick up the Dreadfleet ships but did not ever think of Playmobile! Thanks.

Re: Seeking Egyptian ships
There is a man o war yahoo group. someone there just, in the past week, posted about an undead fleet on kickstarter.
seaofclaws@groups.io is the group, that's the return address on the emails.
here's a link to the group.

Re: Seeking Egyptian ships
On closer inspection, that Playmobile seems way too big. Am I miss seeing something there.
And thanks about the kickstarter, but they did not have something appropriately Tomb King... though the Dreadships might do.

Re: Seeking Egyptian ships
+1 on the Playmobile historial series, they look better than one would think when looking at kids' toys. Hell, I'm fairly sure the sets I had as a kid are among the reasons why I'm into historical everything as an adult!

Re: Seeking Egyptian ships
Playmobile would be somewhat out of scale for 28mm figures. It is definitely wildly out of scale for Man'O'War, which is a much, much smaller scale.
