Seleucid Levy for Raphia

These are Crusader Miniatures Sparabara figures that I will give thureoi shields to for the Raphia game BigRedBat and I are planning for Partizan in June next year.

This particular lot are a third of those I'll need, as there were 5,000 Medes, Cadusians and Carmanians. Identification of quite what they were is problematic, so I'm going with a Median look, perhaps from an earlier period, with modern weaponry supplied from Seleucid armouries. That's my excuse, anyway.

  2. Cool. What are you going to use for shields? Hoplon, wicker, smaller macedonian style?

  3. Looking great! Seeing those trousers, might it be worth mixing in some line phalangites in trousers? I have some if you need any.

    Cheers, Simon

  4. Hi Simon,

    Wondered where you wer going with that idea, then thought some more...yes, I think that might well work, actually. A couple of head swaps for the guys in hoodies should work a treat!

    Fireymonkeyboy, I'm going to give them oval shields from Aventine, as that was the fashionable shield for non-pike at the time I'm trying to cover!

    Regards,
    Craig

  7. Quiet fond of Crusader figs, and I think their Persian range are particularly nice. Doing a good job on these Craig.
