I am looking to get 2x Libyan Sp for a I/46b Kushite army, and I find what both the Essex and Magister Militum have to offer to be lacking.
I would be grateful if anyone can direct me to other suppliers that might fit the bill for Libyan spear.
Thanks!

What manufacturer makes the rest of your army? And why don’t you like about MM or Essex?
However, without really knowing what you are after does “Forged in Battle” WE-CA10 Libyan Foot, short spears fit the bill?

The rest of the army is entirely Magister Militum.
I wanted the spear to be a bit more "beefed up" than what is on offer, and I find the Essex ones more suitable to the Classical period than Biblical.

No - if you are looking for Biblical then Forged in Battle won’t do as they are Classical period.
So you are looking for Meshwesh type Libyan settler Spear and don’t like MM KUE2 as a Spearman but you want something that will fit in with MM? Which isn’t easy as not a lot fits well with MM.
Why don’t you like Essex - ANK28 Kushite Egyptian: Assorted spearmen/javelinmen? I assume too Early Libyan and not enough settler.
Essex Army pack recommend ANK26 Saite Egyptian: Spearman with round shield. I assume you are looking for a MM type equivalent.
You could look at MM HOG3 or HOG23 or HOG11 but these may not be perfect. Otherwise look at MM NDM3 Numidian Javelinmen or Baeuda’s AUC20 Numidian Javelinmen. Any help?

You have given me plenty of choices and all good!
I am using MM KUE2e NUB3e for the 3Ax.
I think I will contact both Essex and Magister Militum and see if they would be willing to give me eight figs. of the same pose, as I like having Sp to have the same pose on a base.
This is all for me making a big list of figs. to buy ahead of time and pick them up at the upcoming SELWG Open. OK, it is not until Oct. 20th I think, but want to get the ball rolling.
Thanks again!
