From IanW - 15mm Late Achaemenian Persian Command Stand (12 Points)


I thought I would start off the Challenge with a much needed fourth command stand for my Achaemenian Persian army. The figures are supplied by Magister Militum who produce the rather fine Chariot Miniatures range.


These are a fairly quick and easy paint, just perfect to get me onto the score board. These figures are reasonably free of flash and as such easy to prep. 


I have based up the figures for use with both Fields of Glory and Hail Caesar and should get some use in the near future. These should net me 12 points to get me started, more Persians to follow.

Welcome aboard Ian! It's great to have you among us again this year. 
What a nice, bright and colourful command stand to start things off - wonderful. As you say, these are very crisp castings. I like your arid basework and the tone of the bronze helmets are spot on. Well done.

    Nice figures Ian. I don't so 15s anymore, but when I did I really liked the Chariot French Revolutionary range.
    Cheers, PD

    Good to see you back with the small scales Ian. Very nice mate! The armoured pants look rather uncomfortable but I suppose even back then there were some willing to sacrifice comfort for style :-)
