Wow, the old Hinchliffe "King of Kings" set. I recall seeing it when I went into my first games shop in Liverpool circa 1975!

You can still buy this model!

Nice paint job.

He is due to lead a Persian army against my Greeks on Friday. If I remember to take pictures I will post an AAR.  We are using Midgard, so I guess he will have to be treated as "on foot"
