Nice Persian archers. I would note that if these are early Persians loosing their arrows, then the front rank defenders carrying the spara should also have a fairly static pose - with shields presenting something of a wall.

Could be very tempted just for Jason & the Argonauts, or even Sandgrave

Update:

Quote
Also attached is a sketch for the first Persian officer figure. He is in a standing pose, as are the first Persian standard bearer and Musician. The next 3 command figures will be in more active poses. This is so we can have appropriate command for the more static archers and the more active spearmen. The officer is wearing a coat called a Kandis over his shoulders. Often worn much like a cloak. He will also have a couple of head options, one of which will be an ornate Attic helmet as officers and Nobles would often wear Helmets as well as the traditional Persian cap.

More updates to follow.

In post #1 in this thread, Victrix mentions that they are doing Spara shields, is that the same thing?

Rereading the first post the spara are supposed to be in the armoured infantry set, so it'll be a while before we see them.

I will say that victrix sprues tend to be generous with extra bits though :)

My Hoplites, with Spartan contingent doing their hair in the front rank, are getting impatient to put both Atlantic and Victrix's scruffy looking shower to the sword!

PRODUCT UPDATE: PERSIAN RENDERS

Here are some renders of the first Persian officer/standard bearer. He wears a scale cuirass and the Kandys cloak/coat over his shoulders. There are two head options, one wearing the traditional hood and the other a Greek style Attic helmet. He also has a choice of hand weapons and shield options.

He looks really nice and bodes well for when we get on to the other armoured infantry and cavalry.
