PRODUCT UPDATE: PERSIANS

Here are renders for the first Persian standard bearer which can also be used as an armoured spearman. Very suitable for early Persian infantry or later Satrapal guard or Apple bearer.

The sketch is for a more active armoured musician figure for the command frame. There will be 3 active and 3 more static poses for the command so they work with both the more aggressive and active spearmen and the more static archers.

We will have to see how these match up with the Wargames Atlantic Persians that will be out right away.

The extra heads from the WA and this Victrix one may breathe new life into the Wargames Factory plastic Persians, too.

PRODUCT UPDATE: PERSIANS

This is the second Persian officer in a more dynamic action pose. He has the option of Persian hood or Helmet and choice of weapon arm or standard bearer arm.

As well as leading Persian infantry he would not look out of place leading Pontic troops under Mithradates.

One more figure to go before we start working on the Armoured Persians

I think this is a win-win for Victrix.

Not only will people buy the Persians but I think sales of their Greeks will also increase.

Here are the first two renders of the armoured Persians. One in scale armour and one in Greek style Linothorax armour.

These are suitable for both early and late Achaemenid Persians from the invasions of Greece by Darius I and Xerxes to the fall of Darius III.

Up next are another two archers, a Spearman and a Spara.

We should be starting on the first of a few Persian cavalry sets in March.

Really nice, but I am disappointed the archer in scale armor is kneeling. Although it is possible skirmishing archers may have knelt, it seems unlikely that archers in (the rear ranks) of a mixed heavy infantry unit would have knelt.

I'm kind of wondering how to organised the units, not knowing anything about the Persian army. Would you have mixed inits with spearmen, archers and those hammer wielding blokes?
I'm guessing you'd have to have designated archer/slinger units with all the figures kind of doing the same thing?
