Sassanid Prince Ardeshir II

 Prince Ardeshir II 

Prince Ardeshir, brother of Shapur II and leader of the Pushtigbhan of the royal hosehold. Along with his brother they successfully conquered Armenia and expanded the borders of the empire against Rome and in the east. He predominantly lead the defence in the north against the nomadic tribal invasions and squashed the nobles rebellion until his nephew was made King Shapur III. Another sub general for my Sassanid army, again an A&A miniature which make up the majority of my sassans.

Sassanid Pushtigbhan, Princes guard

 Sassanid Pushtigbhan 

My second unit of Sassanid Royal guard, this unit is also from A & A miniatures range. These chaps have been in my project drawers for around ten years. I ground off the raised decor with the dremel than sanded the horses smooth with wet and dry sandpaper, so a time consuming job to say the least. Quite happy with them could of spent more time on them but elected to get them table ready. They are the last cavalry unit I have for the army.

Brandenburg Prussian Dragoons 1st Squadron

Brandenburg Dragoon Regiment 5 Prince Wilhelm 

1st Squadron

Finally had some time to sit down and complete some projects this week. I started these chaps while I was in Australia, wrapped them carefully and shipped them with me in my suitcase. A few dings but nothing major, so based the horses and touched up the troopers and matt varnished and based today. Flags on order.



5th Brandenberg Dragoons 1st Squadron 

First of the Prussian dragoon regiments almost completed, one squadron to go plus a brigade commander. Then onto some command figures plus artillery crew.
