Painted Persians

    This week I finished some Victrix Persians for my Seleucid army based as light foot for Impetus.

I ended my earlier indecision by going for 12cm frontage for my ancients basing. Not quite as flexible but will look more cohesive as a unit with the bonus of being easy to move on the table. 

    Went for some simple colours with some stripes and dots. Nowhere near as elaborate as the sources I’ve seen but I don’t have the patience for that kind of stuff. Decided to order shield transfers from Victrix which won’t come for a while (postal strike). Also ordered transfers for Tarentines, hoplites and immortals. 

Next on the lineup are a unit of 6 Samnites based the same way. I kinda wish that I had went with 8 figures for them but I’ll keep it six for consistency. I’ll make the switch when I rebase thureophoroi.
