So this little lot includes Assyrians, Egyptians, Lydians/Phrygians, Ethiopians, Thracians, etc... |
 |
There are also a few figures that were missed on the previous posts - 14 Bactrian cavalry, 12 Sarangian archers and 6 Indian horse archers. |
 |
Except for the last two pictures this lot are just random bits of the army. This is the right flank, basically a light infantry screen including Milyae and Syrians. |
 |
Left flank, including Arab archers at the front. |
 |
The Indians missed out on having their own army when I got a load of Minifigs. So this archer unit is the only Garrison Indians I've painted. |
 |
Assyrians in the foreground, various Asian Greeks behind them. The smaller 'blue' Assyrians are ones I did, 'red' figures are ex-Harry. |
 |
This is more of a test unit. I usually paint Nubians/Kushites dark brown but I experimented with black for these. The standard bearer is a Rose figure.
|
 |
Carthaginian spears pretending to be Phoenicians backed by some Asiatic Greeks. All these figures are ex-Harry, though the original Carthaginians were supplied by me. A lot of figures I sent Harry came back painted when I bought his collection! |
 |
The front row are from my original 70s army and are in need of some attention. Behind them are my Hollywood style Carians in black armour. |
 |
Phrygian/Lydians. Need more of these for the Lydian army - and the figures for that are just sitting there! |
 |
Garrison Phrygian axemen. A 40 strong unit acquired from Harry. |
 |
Egyptians. The ones with the falcon shield blazon are more survivors from my 70s army. |
 |
Ex-Harry Persian javelins backed by ex-Harry Persian archers. In front of them some converted Milyae. |
 |
Various Nubian/Kushite/Ethiopians backed by Thracians and with Arab archers in front. |
 |
Meanwhile, thought it might be an idea to round off the army with some Greeks. On the right flank a load of late Greek conversions, to their left a couple of units of Thebans. I admit I don't like that Theban figure - it overlaps the bases too much! |
 |
Could have used more but decided to leave the rest of the late Greeks in their box. |
So that's it. Not sure, but I might do a separate post grouping the main pictures together as one Review rather than leaving them separate.
This lot totals about 570 infantry plus 20 cavalry - plus, of course, about 250 Greek hoplites!
Ignoring the Greeks, army itself has 2,058 infantry, 521 cavaly, 36 camels, 17 chariots, 3 war wagons and an elephant (not counting the 8 Sassanid elephants!)
