Well, on the off chance that I have any Parsi readers (or Iranian too I suppose) I thought I’d wish happy new year to them. Most of the people I know in Bangalore are Parsi, followed by Christian, Muslim and Hindu with one Jain thrown in to the mix. We’ve been over there a couple times when we enjoyed this celebration, as being Parsi there are no constraints where booze and food are concerned. (I did draw the line at sheep’s 🧠until I had a taste, and they’re actually rather tasty 🤤).
Anyway, spurred on by the theme, in the darkness that is the space under my games table I brought out a long-forgotten project - my almost finished, but not really, Sassanid army in 28mm.
Having laid them all out there’s not that much to do apart from zillions of shield transfers to cut out 😱and stick on, lots of banners and flags/pennants to add, and the basing to tart up. The figures need the odd bit of touching up and some lances replaced but I shall get these finished in the coming week I hope. Then I can arrange for them to meet my Late Romans for a game.
Prefer pigs brains myself. Lovely army in progress tho. Always fancied a sassanid army.hmm?
ReplyDeleteWow! What an Army! Methinks there is so much already done you could finish it at a rush. I've always thought that, if one is to have elephants in the army, one might as well have lots of 'em - enough to be intimidating, and, of course, to mitigate the impact of the ... untoward.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of shield transfers, myself, preferring to paint shield patterns, but I have to admit the effects can be very impressive.
Cheers,

it must be a very large and deep area under your game table to swallow up such a lovely army as this.
ReplyDeleteThey look magnificent! Great army full of gaming potential…
