Hello everyone,

As you know or not in 28 / 30mm, some manufacturers offer figurines that represent the Spartans as in the 300 (film).

And for the Persians?

You know a factory that sells figurines of 28 or 30 mm representing the Persian as in this movie ?

Thank you

I saw some of the "300" immortals once but I can't find them now. I know they are out there.

I can suggest two sources of movie style Spartans:

Rebel miniatures makes some in their 28mm "Legendary Ancients" line.

Crocodile Games makes a large number of fantasy Spartans in their "Olympus" range.

I do not have any suggestions for Persians – I have not seen the movie! Perhaps some of the other figures from Crocodile Games, such as the Egyptians would work? (Images of the Persians on the internet from the movie look influenced by Hollywood's idea of Egypt).

Good luck with you project!

A possibility for Persians might be Reaper miniatures. Their "nefsokar" figures have a variety of scimitars, head-cloths and baggy clothing. With the appropriate paint job they might work.

These are the Achaemenid Persians, right?
