The plan is to have a mix of scale, padded and Linothorax armour. A few with some Helmet options for Hoplon and Sparabara shields. So yes you will be able to use them as Early Persian armoured infantry up to Late Achaemind Persians.
So it seems their Persians are based off late era.Does that mean no Sparabara? I've read accounts that by Alexander's time the Sparabara are done away with, but surely Victrix would include the iconic rectangular shields to make them to pit against their Greek lines? I see various troop types and options with these light infantrymen, so I am wondering if they release them with armoured infantry or archers. If not, I hope they make shield packs because it would be quite strange not to have Sparabara!Happy these guys can be turned into slingers though. That's one thing I can't make with the war-games factory dudes!
How much work might it be to convert them into Bactrians or Kushans, I wonder?
