These Wargames Foundry Sassanid Javelinmen have been sitting on a shelf waiting for the grass tufts to arrive before being photographed. There's something about the way in which Wargames Foundry sculpts pop out of the moulds that is very pleasing when it comes to painting them up. They are almost always a pleasure to colour in.
I went for slightly muted but colourful tunicstrousers but decided to leave kulāf (or kolāh) an off white colour to bring some unity to the unit.
I'm committed to a display game of The Battle of Dyrrachium 1081 for the Battleground Wargames Show in November this year so I don't know when I'm going to get around to, it but I have to paint up 3 units of 32 mixed spear and bow, 3 x 16 Skirmishing Archers, 2 x 16 Skirmishing Slingers and another 2 x 16 Skirmishing Javelinmen! Ouch!
All the photo's are "clickable" (Right click, "Open in new Tab", Enlarge)
Cheers for now.
Gorgeous figures! Very beautiful!

DeleteSuperb work on them and they are such lovely figures too, great additions to your collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly Donnie McGibbon- appreciated :)
DeleteLove em! Somehow, it escaped me that WF had a Sassanid range.
ReplyDeleteThanks and "they do???". It has escaped me too! I'm gonna take a look now!
DeleteTop work as usual.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bodvoc.
ReplyDeleteDelightful painting. So clean and crisp. An excellent choice of colours for the tunics and trousers too which adds that bit of colour and further individuality.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
