From HowardT: Later Achaemenid Persian 1/72 20mm (163 points)


Submission for the second half of the Later Achaemenid Persian army.    This submission includes Kardaka, Horde, Cavalry and Chariot.  Will now be moving on to some terrain.


Scale 1 /72 (20 mm). All HAT plastic figures except the Chariot which are Zvezda.

For DBA purposes this army is now complete.


 Points breakdown:

Kardakes,  four stands of 4 figures each.           Points = 4 x 16 = 64.

Horde,   1 stand of 7 figures.             Points = 4 x   7 = 28.

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

Chariot   one stand  with 2 figures.                    Points =  1 x 15 = 15.


Total of points is  (64+28+48+15) = 155 points.



Based for DBA, 8 Stands of Achaemenid Persians of Darius III, 330BC ish. Kardaka to the front Horde to the left, followed by the scythed chariot and heavy cavalry.

Nice work, Howard. You've pulled out some fine patterns on the shields and armour. Well done on finishing a DBA army! I've added some well-earned points for the chariot crew.

  1. Great shields. Howard! I like the shields and the armour of horses pulling the chariot especially.
