The Persians are coming (Sassanids) - posted by Steve Hill, 10 October 2021

SASSANIDS - some Progress

Royal Guard Blade (F)

I could do more patterns (on tunics for example) but I'm wondering if this is enough for the table top otherwise I would never get the army on the table. I think there are enough patterns to get a sense without trying too hard. Anyway what do you think?

All figures are gripping beast - got some great shield transfers for them, which are next if I'm finished.

  I’m in awe! More than good enough for the tabletop I am of course going to steal your zigzag pattern for my Persians.

  They are looking fabulous. Amazing reds in particular.

  And agree. That’s probably enough patterns.

    Thanks Russell Briant I've seen lots of brilliant work which is probably beyond me and it would have been another stage, but finishing up now is good, and achievable.

  More gorgeous Persians - why would anyone want any other armies?
