The God Set

by | Mar 6, 2015

I recently acquired a copy of Osprey's Of Gods and Mortals, another 'Song of Blades..' variant.

The 'Song of' system works incredibly well and OG&M looks interesting.

I decided to set up an Egyptian Warband based on the God Set - 54 mm model available from Northstar Miniatures.

Only the God is 54 mm, the rest of the warband (Legends and ordinary bods) are 28 mm (or 28mm & 15mm etc).

One of the reason I chose this theme is because I can see this warband fitting in with some of my In Her Majesty's Name 'firms'.

Set was a very important God whose role changed throughout Egypt's long history but towards the end he was the God of the desert, storms, chaos, Upper Egypt and foreigners. He was also a Trickster God, cf Loki and has been compared to Satan.

His great enemy was Horus who represented Order and the Nile.
