Hi All, Here are photos of some recent additions to my expanding ancient Persian army. Some Command groups with a 'Great King' Chariot. Scythed chariots, Skirmisher group, Light infantry group and Heavy infantry group. The latter have Greek mercenaries and imitation hoplites/Kardakes. You can see I'm not shy to use lots of colour! Figures are a variety of Foundry, Newline, 1st Corps, Old Glory and Black Tree Design. Even a Minifig guy on one command base. Bases are nearly all from Shogun. Hope you like the photos.
More here: link Cheers,
Mick

Gorgeous, and lots of work too. Can't have too much colour with Persians… |

Great range of figures – love the varied palette. Encourages me to get on and paint my chariots. Garry |

Thanks for all your comments! @Bc1745 – Yes, they are a pain to transport and store. Takes some careful positioning in their box… @BigRedBat – Thanks Simon. I use a grey basecoat. It's a spray primer that goes straight on. I'm waiting on a few more figures to finish off a camp base to use for your 'To the Strongest!' rules. |

Ha, that's what I like to hear! :-) The yellow head-dresses are great. I am very jealous of the Persians with the bright colours and the Dipylon shields, would love a unit like that. A fine looking army! Best, Simon |

Yes, a very looking army. It is a pity their are no shield transfers like for some other armies. |
| BigRedBat | 05 Jul 2015 3:39 a.m. PST |
Here you are sumerandakkad! link I've a feeling I've also seen a painted unit with the eagles on a purple ground on hoplite shields. |

Simon – some of the Sasanid transfers are also suitable: link They are also in 15mm, have used 15mm stars and Sasanid transfers for molded on Foundry shields link Look for "Kardakes as Lycians and Pamphylian spearmen" A neverending army I am afraid! Garry |
