here is ther faction icon




the garrison troops, called the ‘w’yt, sometimes served as the pharaoh’s household troops both in Egypt and in foreign lands as some men chose the army as their profession. The Ramesside Period saw many upper class Egyptian men become military officials, and these men received promotions and wealth quickly. Officers were always chosen from among the career army men. But there were other inducements to choosing the army as a profession – booty collected during a military campaign was distributed among these professionals, and the king also gave land to these men with the added incentive that their sons could inherit the land if they also served in the army



these are the pharohs axe men
their well made axes can cut through anything but the pharohs own armor
they are also staitioned on the borders due to the armies refourms by the Edict of Horemheb at the end of the 18th Dynasty, during peacetime the army was split into an Upper Egyptian corps and a Lower Egyptian corps, and each was led by a lieutenant commander. In this capacity, the two armies covered several arenas: the were stationed at frontier forts, escorted royal processions, intervened in riots, and possibly even served as unskilled building labor.



The army that was raised in times of need, i.e., during civil unrest, consisted of conscripts, who were generally peasants and artisans, led by noblemen

armed with a simple shield and a spear, these men knew more on how to survive, not to fight.




Mercenaries were still important in the professional army of the New Kingdom. The number of foreigners including Medjay, Sheriden, and Libyans in the Egyptian army was so high that captains were specially designated to be in charge of them. By the latter part of the New Kingdom, these foreign mercenaries formed the majority of the army. It is interesting that by the 19th Dynasty, foreign mercenaries came from so many different places that at times, they fought in battles against members of their own former tribes. In fact, descendants of Libyan mercenaries actually became rulers of Egypt’s 22nd and 23rd Dynasties

these are sheridan mercinary bowmen. they are armed with a very well made bow, leather armor, and a stabbing sword


so what do you think of these please keep in mind that these are very wips ok?
