I'm finally making a start on my Late Sassanid army and starting small with a unit of Daylamite Light Infantry which can, with the removal of the main command models, also serve as Kurdish skirmishers too.

As usual, there are a more pictures and discussion re: Daylamites in Sassanian armies on my blog here:
justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2026/05/sassanid-daylamite-light-infantry.html

I've based the unit on an image I had saved from the net but have now lost any reference to (if anyone can help with the reference I'd be grateful?)

Much more to come soon.

Cheers

Lovely stuff and the beginning of one of my favourite armies.

As per usual you are excelling with your paint brush.

Very nice! Are you not tempted to model the characteristic double-ended zupins?

Thanks guys- appreciated as ever.

I will do Simon but more on the definitive skirmisher types, which will follow as soon as I've picked up some stuff from Foundry this weekend. I have the brass rod ready.
