My New Kingdom Egyptian Army

The New Kingdom Egyptians are very sophisticated when compared to many of their enemies like the Sea People. In preparation for doing a Holy Hack: Hacking By The Book Second Edition game I have also finished my Egyptian Army-list number 8; page 39. The New Kingdom Army was significantly different than the Egyptian armies of the Old and Middle Kingdom. The most significant difference being the employment of the horse, the chariot and the composite bow.

Pir-aa or what we call Pharaoh (meaning great house) was the basis of all social activity in an Egypt during ancient times. Wether in civil or military matters Pharaoh was what it was all about to the ancient Egyptians. Pharaoh was the nation of Egypt in body and spirit. So in describing how I use my New Kingdom Egyptians (Q.R.S. 8; page 39 in Holy Hack Hacking By the Book Second Edition)I will begin with the source and that naturally enough is the Pharaoh.

Here is my Pharaoh who adds a plus 4 to both melee and morale as a modifier should he join a unit (attach himself to a chariot unit). As depicted he is unattached. Not depicted is his Royal Army Standard (I am still working on that). Should you not have a Royal Army Standard the Pharaoh model can double for both. A Royal Army Standard yields an additional plus 3 as a morale modifier for units within 12 inches of it. When the Pharaoh model represents both Pharaoh and the standard you add the morale modifier for it in addition to those of Pharaoh (total modifiers for morale would be plus 4 for Army leader and plus 3 for Army Standard equalling plus 7). It is good to be both King and God. When using an Army Standard model in addition to a Pharaoh model you can treat them as either together or as individual models. As individual models they can attach themselves to other chariot Units.
