Partly because I like them I seem to be painting a lot of the Garrison Persian robed sparabara conversions. The Immortal figure, for example, I consider to be a poorer design - one thing is that the spears are very fragile. So, another unit of the Persian levy. Again, I'll point out that they should be Medes, but I'm aligning my id of the figure to the Minifigs Mede and Persian figures, so the figures I call Persian are actually Medes and the figures I call Medes are Persians... anyway, I know what I mean...

I understand the Persian/Mede thing but I'm not convinced that its not a parade vs campaign thing. Anyway, I put my real Persians into trousers too,
ReplyDeleteIt's a hat thing. Medes should have the rounded hats, Persians the fluted hats with a flat top. Agree that on campaign you would expect them all to go for trousers - except there are friezes of Persians on campaign wearing robes!
