Nothing needed to add to these as they've been around for quite a while already. In some cases they just exist as rump/test units - though of course they are also useful for DBA armies anyway.
200 plus sparabara is pretty impressive - but when it comes to a final Review of Xerxes army would be a bit overpowering. |
So will almost certainly finish up as representative elements - here from front to back Corps I to V. |
There is one full Immortal regiment plus three single element rump units. These are Corps I |
Which means that Corps III has two full regiments of Medes to choose from. |
Each regiment has three elements totalling 24 figures each. Originally I had intended to make every regiment up to 48 figures. |
Corps V, the Hyrkanians, is represented by my 'Universal Archer' figure. 48 of them. |
Note these are only 6 figures to a double base - Irregular figures rather than Regular. Some of the others should probably been 6 to a base as well. |
In reality I would have expected this lot to represent over half the infantry in invasion army - assuming that many of the others would probably be token Corps whereas these would probably be full strength. I know I've got more than enough Spara units (including Minifigs...) but don't think I've finished with them yet.

Wow Rob...
ReplyDeleteEvery time I look at who I am following you have something new to show... very impressive indeed.
I hope you have a big table.
All the best. Aly
It's 12' by 4' but usually no more than 6-8' of that is clear... Lots of new things at the moment simply because I'm trying to catalogue a particular army - so a lot is new but most is going to be old stuff being presented in this particular new way.
DeleteAre you intending to make some camp scenes, baggage etc to support these glorious fellows?
ReplyDeleteThings like that have always beena bit of a weakness of mine, but I am working on Xerxes on his throne rather than leaving him in his chariot all the time.
