Median Guardsmen











Here is my first unit from the new Wargames Atlantic plastic Persian Infantry set. These are Guardsmen in Median dress, based on the illustration by Richard Scollins, in Duncan Head's book The Achaemenid Persian Army. As I mentioned in my last post, I'm planning on further Early Persian units of Immortals, Kissians, Iranians and Persians/Medes.

  6. Very cool. A great addition to available plastic. I'm probably going to get their WW1 German set when released.

    1. Thanks Dean, yes they're excellent figures, I think they're releasing some Spanish Napoleonic infantry too at some stage.
