Also 2 sketches for the first Persian figures. The first set will comprise 3 unarmoured spearmen, 3 unarmoured archers and 2 slingers plus appropriate command figures. The next Persian infantry set will be armoured spearmen and archers.The Persians will primarily be used as Later Achaemenid Persians that fought Alexander the Great and were led by Darius III. However, they can also be used as earlier Persians, in particular in the armoured infantry set will include appropriate shields such as Spara and some alternate heads.Before we get a deluge of messages both the Norman and Persian ranges will include cavalry but this will take us quite a while to complete. We are also considering Persian chariots.
On the basis of their Greeks and Romans, I suspect these will become the new benchmark for Persians.
Wonder if there's any tutorials on how to paint 'em. I fancy having a go at flowery/stripey clobber, but...Do you do each unit with a kind of unifying tone, or mix 'em up as a rabble?
Show me real minis?
We’re pleased to bring you some more product info regarding the upcoming release of the Persian light infantry. As you can see, the Persians shown here represent Later Achaemenid Persian troops that fought Alexander the Great and Xenephon and took part in the numerous Persian civil wars. They can also be used in Asiatic Successor armies after Alexander’s empire broke apart.The spearmen figures can be used as skirmishers, Takabara, Kardakes or Satrapal guards with all the equipment options available in the set. The set will also include sling arms and sling ammunition bags. As shown in the sketches, this allow gives you the option of making the Persian spearman into slingers. Once these are completed, we will move on to 4 archer poses and then the command figures. After that it will be armoured infantry. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates. The release date will be revealed soon.
