So time to start thinking about other things I could start on \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Having just read the Ballista book (Warrior of Rome: Fire in the East – recommended) I am enthused about how attractive a Sassanid army could be. In DBMM its pants, but it would look amazing in 28mm and I still need a 28mm WAB army (its complex – my Nikephorians started out as a WAB army but they really don’t work in WAB – the rear rank archers just aren’t effective enough and the feel of WAB is 1:1 and the cavalry units wouldn’t look right 10 ranks deep). Sassanid would have the advantage of being very, very small, especially with elephants, and 28mm elephants are something that I feel my life lacks.<\/p>\n
So who make 28mm Sassanids?<\/p>\n
Gripping Beast should be very nice because I like the rest of their figures. All of the infantry have domed hats though, which is apparently totally wrong, and a lot of the mounted are on half barded horses which is actually quite rare.<\/p>\n
Newline have some on their product list, but no pictures which is a real problem. Might try a pack from them to see what they turn out like though.<\/p>\n
A&A Miniatures seem to have a pretty extensive range. Reasonable variety (although still all domed hats for the levy) and LBM transfers available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
