Title: Sassanid Pushtigbhan (Royal guard)
Post by: bluewillow on August 11, 2012, 02:10:52 PM

Finally finished my Sassanian Shah's  guard unit, all the cavalry are A & A miniatures and the running roman is Foundry, based for impetus. I decided to use the mace armed figures to set them apart from the rest of the Savaran,  I have also painted them in a mix of colours, but sticking to a limited palette of red and  gold to link them all together.

My Shah is in Royal Purple and rides a white horse, where as his men ride all black Nisean horses. At this stage I will stay with the banner I have given them until my LBM banner arrives, then this banner will bill presented to another unit!!

These look great, sublime brushwork on those caparisons. :-*
Sassanids are on my list as well, so thanks for the inspiration.

Fabulous paint job.  I am in the middle of a long paint job to create a Parthian army.  These figures could make a lovely command group for them too - could someone let me know who makes the figures please?  I am currently painting A&A, MM, Tin Soldier, and I am currently tempted to get some of the Essex figures, but haven't bought them yet! 

As a matter of interest, of all the ranges, the A&A figures are my favourites.
