Sassanid Command, Savaran and Light Cavalry

 

Here are some Sassanid command figures, Savaran and light cavalry that I've just finished painting. They're all A&A figures with LBM banners and shield transfers. I've added six Savaran (three with banners) on unarmored horses to the twelve I already have to make up three units of six. We've got a Command and Colors Medieval (CCM) game lined up this week. The scenario is the Battle of Hormuz 226 AD with the Sassanids under Ardashir I taking on the Parthians under Artabanus IV. It should be fun, lots of horse archers, shooting and cataphracts!

Sassanid Commanders

 

Here are two Sassanid Command stands for my 15mm Sassanid army, that I've just finished painting (I have a 28mm Sassanid army as well). The figures are by Legio Heroica and AB Figures with LBM banners. Apparently they're hard to use well in MeG, to make best use of their combined shooting and combat abilities, so no doubt it will be a steep learning curve with a few disasters on the way! Mainly cavalry armies have never faired that well in most rules I've played to date but you've still got to go with an army that appeals.

Sassanid Commmand

 

Here are two Sassanid command stands that I've just finished painting. The figures are all A&A Miniatures with LBM banner and shield transfers. We've got a Sassanids versus Late Romans game lined up early next month, so these command stands will feature in that game.
