Spring Clean Challenge Sassanids Revived
Persian Levy complete. Speed painting FTW
The Persian Levy are complete. I love the effect of Contrast Talassar Blue over the zenith undercoat. I think it looks like silk in the sunshine. I’m super happy with the overall effect but 48 miniatures in a single unit just brings joy to the heart of any wargamer (apart from my opponent probably).
The Swordpoint rules allow for the unit to be made up of 50% spearmen and 50% archers and to use the spara shields to form a static shieldwall which is lost if the unit moves, hence being mounted on separate bases from the troops themselves. The unit also can have large shields which is why the front rank have the bigger wicker shields and the rest the pelta style.
Aventine made the large spara. The front rank have Wargames Factory shields and the rest are using Wargames Atlantic with transfers from Relic in Canada. Transfers on the standards are from Victirx.
The whole unit in battle array
