OK, first thing - this is one of my 'failed' conversions... the conversions themselves are a bit below standard and the moulds aren't casting all that well - I did this lot a couple of years ago, sorting them for painting I got a dozen useable figures from about 50!

| Basically the top half used to be a peltast, bottom half one of the robed figures, new arm with bow attached and quiver added on back. |
 |
| It's based on figure 24 from the first edition of 'Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars'. Useful as a generic Syrian/Babylonian one shot wonder in the armies of both the Persians and Successors. |
These painted figures look OK, it's just that I think I would struggle to get the quantities required to equip my Garrison armies. To put the numbers in perspective, WRG has up to 50 of these in an army - but that 50, depending on the army list, could be LI, LMI, MI or Hordes. Which would give a total requirement of about 200 figures.
OK, that has been achieved with my Minifigs armies,,, must do an updated post on that... so begging the question 'Why do I 'need' the same in Garrison' At best, that question will only result in a puzzled look on my face. I mean... it's what I do...
