The Persians are Coming


I made these with two boxes of Wargames Factory Persians - one infantry, one cavalry - costing £16 each.

They are typical Wargames Factory models: not great but not bad either, and very good value for money. As usual with WF, you get a very wide equipment choice. I chose to make two units of infantry, a bow/spear/shield medium infantry and a light bow infantry, and two units of cavalry, horse archers/light cavalry and medium/heavy cavalry.

I did a simple paint job using army painter Dark Tone to shade and protect the finish as I wanted the units in action as quickly as possible. I am happy that the result is adequate for game play.

    Are you going to convert a giant, androgynous Xerxes ala 300?
