Sassanid Command - Shapur I and Valerian

 






Here's a Sassanid Command stand of Shapur I and Valerian that I've just finished painting. These are great figures by Aventine Miniatures, who have some fantastic ranges, including easily the best ancient elephants in 28mm.

  1. A very, very cool painting on an equally cool vignette, Mike! I've had my eye on this set for many years - but back out each time I wanted to order it as I don't have any other figures from this period. Inspirational though - and my someday get some.

  2. Mike! This is a beautiful command vignette. Aventine figures are at the head of the class. I recently picked up a few more Romans to field two more units.

    1. Thanks Jonathan, absolutely they’re brilliant figures, looking forward to their early Byzantine cavalry.
