Having used the Grant Persians for Corps XX and Phrygians for Corps XXII it left Corps XXI.
 |
| Wanting this Corps to have a different feel from Corps XX so I've made them a bit 'brighter'. |
 |
| Which takes longer to paint but looks pretty good really. Though taking the picture with too much light at their back doesn't really show that off. |
 |
| Quick comparison with Corps XX - Grant really seemed to like that mauve colour for hs Persians! |
 |
| And likewise completely different to the supposed similar Corps XXII - but when you've got a figure described in the catalogue as Phrygian, and which looks more like my own view on how a Phrygian should look... To be honest, I feel that I should have worked out how to justify more Corps using these figures! |
I agree! More Phrygians!
ReplyDeleteJust a matter of 'where'.
DeleteI must admit Rob, the Phrygians were amongst my favourites from the Garrison ancient range. Wasnt there a Phyrigian hoplite type as well? Anyway keep going, I find it very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom figure is the nearest to a hoplite - in the 25mm range they also did a figure dressed like this but holding a spear in an upright pose - is that the one you mean?
