28mm painted Ptolemaic Egyptian wargaming miniatures

One of the giants in ancient history and one of the last surviving Hellenstic kingdosm, heirs of Alexander the Great. Started as a late Ptolemaic army but I have slowly been adding phalangites and elephants so the army can be used for example at Raphia in 217 BC. Mainly miniatures from Gripping Beasts 28mm Polemarch range with additions from Aventine Miniatures and some Wargames Foundry miniatures.
