I have had these Sassanids for about three years waiting for the right moment. Having started to read Adrian Goldsworthy's book "Rome and Persia", I got the itch and so the moment had arrived.
Like all my Ancients armies, these are based for the Impetus rules. The first two units are a heavy foot unit of Levy spearmen and some archers. Basing is pretty simple with just a layer of AK Interactive Dry Ground Terrain Paste which has then had a light drybrush and some tufts applied.
These miniatures are 28mm from Gripping Beast. The army will also include figures from Aventine and A&A Miniatures.
Nice looking Sassanids!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. This will be a slow build as the main game is the small Napoleonics. But it nice to paint something larger and I've long wanted to do the Sassanids with their heavy colourful cavalry and the elephants.
