Now I've only the archers to go to finish the army, which is getting towards 500 pts for Impetus.
Next up Sassanid Persians, well technically, Syrians. A mix of Essex figures (the Arab allies- originally from my 1s Syrain army) and Legio Heroica Muslims (from last years abortive project to do 1st Crusades and Syrians for Impetus in 15mm). Given that I intend to build both Syrian and Sassanid Persians in 28mm I don't see the point in forking out for a complete 15mm army too,especially when I'm trying to move away from 15mm as much as I can. The plan is to morph the Cav for both the Sassanids and Syrians and just change the support options to the appropriate ones for the army I'm using. Not 100% accurate, but in 15mm who really cares, I've seen a lot stranger morphs at TAG over the years.
I painted up these Legio Heroica figures last night- great figures, some of the best 15mm I've had the pleasure to paint. The army is still WIP as I need to complete the bases.
Knight and Cavalry.
The knight element- Armoured Ghulams (or for the next wee while Sassanid cataphracts)
And Essex Arabs. I'm not really a fan of Essex but their Arabs are worth getting- nicely cast and animated figures. They fit well size with with the Legio Heroica ones as well.
So now I only need my hordes of levy infantry and elephant to complete the force.
