From HowardT: Later Achaemenid Persian 1/72 20mm (188 points)




Slower Progress through January.  Working with 1/72 plastic figures for this half of the Achaemenid army.  This submission includes Takabara, skirmish bow/sling,  Cavalry, Light Cavalry and Horde. Scale 20 mm. 


All HAT plastic figures.


Points breakdown:


Takabara,  four stands of 3 figures each.        Points = 4 x 12 = 48.

Skirmishers, four stands  of 2 figures each.    Points = 4 x  8 = 32.

Horde, one stand of 7 figures.                         Points = 4 x  7 = 28.

Light Cavalry,  two stands of 2 figures each.   Points = 8 x 4 = 32.

Cavalry, two stands of 3 figures each.            Points = 8 x 6 = 48.


Total of points is  (48+32+28+32+48) = 188 points.

 



Based for DBA, 13 Stands of Achaemenid Persians of Darius III, 330BC ish.



Right side profile.


Front profile.


 

These HäT models hold up well. I like the bright colours and the conservative basing.

May I implore the tardy Thursdayites- Howard, Dallas, Dave- to submit your draft posts before Saskatchatchatchewan Thursday, or else there's a risk it won't go up for a week.

    Hoi Howard, what a great and colourful bunch! You have done these oldies proud, as a HäT fanboy I really like these! You might also want to share a link to this post on the unofficial HäT facebooksite I am sure the people there will appreciate it.

      1/72 is challenging. Particularly Airfix.

      Thank you the bright colours lift the figures out of the grey/brown bases.

    Nice and vibrant colours. It always strikes me how these 1/72 figures often have very lifelike proportions. Nice work!

    Thank you. I am not so sure about the proportions because, face on, the foot seem a bit skinny.
