Hot off the desk this week are some A&A Sassanid light cavalry. One of the Romans most consistent enemies of late period. Another batch from the project drawer that have been staring at me for the best part of 6 years......now done and dusted.
Based for impetus and the familiar circle I like to base my light cavalry on.

A completed resin Hovels piece I believe, I already have one of these, and received another in a job lot of 20mm buildings I purchased online. So it joined the terrain to do pile about three weeks ago. I decided to pick it up and paint it on the weekend. A easy and simple paint job. Quite happy with the result, I will de able to use this for both 20mm and 28nm games.

For the new year I am planning a continuation of my French Revolution project (along with many others) including a set of rules that works for a mid sized skirmish game (60-100 figs).
With that in mind I ordered for Christmas some more books on the subject, three in French and two in English, plusI put aside some cash to spend on some militaria from the period.
I looked at a number of auctions in England and here in France, set my budget then watched live. One of the items that got away that I was interested in was a number of revolutionary cockades ....they become a little too rich for me very quickly, so I now present the images at least.
Hopefully somebody will find them useful like I will as a reference when painting their miniatures. Note a number of variations including green and double rings.
cheers

Another Perry plastic figure
