Title: 10mm Safavid Persian Gholam Spearmen
Post by: Evil Dave on 31 March 2021, 09:24:51 PM

Bob just sent over some WiP shots for the next army I'll be putting out: the Safavid Persians.

The arms seem a bit skinny....


This is an unexpected direction, are you going for an Araby style range?

They don't lift.

They'll be good Araby proxies, yes. Most of what I had left for Polish-Lithuanian/Kislev (Drabant, Tabor, characters, artillery, and related fantasy) wouldn't be big sellers, so I opted to supplement them with some Safavid core troop proxies.

I suppose that is the problem with ranges, people want good numbers of the core troops, but you need to do the flashy bits that people will only buy 1 or 2 of.

Are you thinking of doing other Araby / Persian troops?

Unfortunately between trans-Atlantic shipping costs, import costs and having piles of your figures not yet painted, while tempting, I doubt I’ll be buying :(

Ya, I'll be doing Gholam archers, Qurchi royal guard, Qizilbash cavalry (heavy and light archer), as well as some other odds and ends.

Nice! Which business or company would sell these?
