Having all those Sassanid elephants I thought I should start a 25mm Garrison Sassanid army. Looking through my stock box I found a dozen or so Clibanarii and cast another dozen to start it off. First 12 now finished...

| Quite a colourful bunch. |

| It was around about this time that I realised that I really should touch up the pointy sticks and that I had forgotten to paint on their leather gloves... |

| But as they say, a work of art is never really finished. The faults aren't that obvious at ground level. |
That leaves me wondering what to do next - finish the last lot of Vanha elephants, or do the next Clibanarii unit.
They are nice - are they size compatible with Hinchliffe?
ReplyDeleteHaven't specifically checked them but assume so - they're OK with Lamming and I used to mix Lamming and Hinchliffe Sassanids. I'll check tomorrow and perhaps post a comparison.
DeleteElephants next I reckon.
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet - make that decision when I start!
DeleteSplendid… what’s not to love about Sassanid heavy cavalry…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Depends which side you're on. Romans, Byzantines and Arabs didn't like them much :) Probably Vanha the same...
DeletePeasants! We want peasants!
ReplyDeleteWell, the army lists I tend to base my armies on need at least 50.
DeleteMarvellously colourful and will go a treat with those wonderful nellies of your previous posts. What ever you do next I'll be interested to view them!

I'm thinking the elephants. Then I'll hold a Review/parade of them all.
DeleteElephants next please and perhaps those levy figures chained together on the battlefield too.
ReplyDeleteP.s don’t forget the Atlantean whale howdahs.
Most people seem to have a preference for the elephants. As for whale howdahs, think the whales are a bit small - it would look a lot out of scale. Still...
DeleteStill indeed…
DeleteLooking good... I like heavy cavalry from all periods.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I've always been a light cavalry general. But the heavies usually look good.
