Do the Classical Era Persians have no general models?

Obviously they have APE-15, Great King in Chariot, excellent!

But no other senior commanders?

 

I can use the Cavalry commanders ofc, but anyone have any other ideas?

I use the extra cavalry commanders from the Persian range and also commanders from AGR-13, the Greek/Hellenistic Generals.

I also use the command figures from the Persian cavalry as my generals and satraps for my collection of Persian armies. If you give the very senior officers a purple kandys (the sleeved cloak) and lesser officers other colours, then according to my understanding from various reference books this is proabably appropriate. There is the extra heavy Persian cavalry pack which has some suitable figures too.

And that, is actually my take on the subject as well - until we get around to resculpting the range and adding some.   (Don't get TOO excited - the sculptor is more than busy with our 20thC stuff for some time to come...)

 


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...
