What has everyone been going with for these guys, specifically the Mithridatic period through their sometime alliance with the Sassanids? Newline's Sassanids look like they'd work, but no command figs. Any suggestions helpful. Thanks!

I could be wrong but for Mithridatic Cataphracts would have looked more like Sarmatian Cataphracts? In 28mm it looks like Warlord and Foundry have some. I always think of Armenia being pushed and pulled between Rome and Persia so maybe just any Roman or Sassanid Cataphracts?

For the Mithridatic period I figure figures sold as Parthians would do nicely.

Thanks, guys. Probably end up going with some sort of Parthian or Sassanid models. A little surprising no one's made Armenians for that period!
