Finally finished my Sassanian Shah's guard unit, all the cavalry are A & A miniatures and the running roman is Foundry, based for impetus. I decided to use the mace armed figures to set them apart from the rest of the Savaran, I have also painted them in a mix of colours, but sticking to a limited palette of red and gold to link them all together. The shields are LBM transfers. My Shah is in Royal Purple and rides a white horse, where as his men ride all black Nisean horses. At this stage I will stay with the banner I have given them until my LBM banner arrives, then this banner will bill presented to another unit!! Only four more Cataphract units to complete my Sassanid Army, and yes I intend to paint them all as individual knights!
Very impressive mate - the detail on the caparison is outstanding. I was concerned about your having to undertake the Royal cav at Lewes but not now. Suck it up.
Always a great pleasure to view your modeling work, Sir. Super detailed job.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking unit. The Sassanids are one of the best looking armies in my view
