Staying with Sumerian/Akkadians for this painting batch.
Another unit of spearmen with shield-bearers in he front for protection as on the Stele of the Vultures.
15/18mm 3d prints from Uppsala Miniatures files downscaled from 28mm.
May be getting half way through the army now 😂

Once again the wheel of what I'm painting has turned and Akkadian/Sumerians are back.
15/18mm 3d printed slingers from Uppsala Miniatures files reduced from 28mm originals.
Easy to paint so a large(ish) batch done 🙂 Will be a large army so useful they can be done quite quickly 😂

Painting enthusiasm is a bit low at present but have produced another unit of Seljuq horse archers this week. Skirmisher types rather than the more usual unit types.
15/18mm 3d printed figures from BattleCat 28mm files - they resize nicely and retain their detail.

6 bases of Seljuq Turk horse archers each with 2 figures per base.

Seljuq horse archers completed over the last few days - painting is a bit slow at present but I'll probably need these for a crusades themed competition at the end of November.

Been busy and/or away doing other stuff so no new painting completed for a while. However, have now done another unit of Sasanid infantry.
15/18mm 3d prints from Resin Warfare downscaled from 28mm files and some small edits made by the chap who prints for me.

8 bases of Sasanid Persian infantry, 4 figures to each base. Mainly swordsmen but with some spearmen mixed in for variety. All are unarmoured and carry a large rectangular shields.

Akkadian/Sumerians again. This time "retained archers" - as with the previous "retained" troops these (mostly) have the light blue body wrap to identify them (on no evidence what so ever 🤣).

And so the painting wheel again turns to Akkadians. 15/18mm 3d printed figures from Uppsala Miniatures files; rescaled from 28mm.
These are for the "retained" spearmen as opposed to the militia. I'm using the blue bands across the body to distinguish the better troops (based on nothing).

As one cannot ever have enough Sasanids (or Sasanians if you prefer) here is another unit of C6th CE Sasanid cavalry. 18mm Resin Warfare 3d figures printed from rescaled 28mm files.
Although I have a C4th CE Sasanid army I decided I "needed" a later version after finding these figures 🤣

Akkadian/Sumerians again. This time some "battle carts" pulled by 4 equids. Nice models but requiring a deeper base that I'd normally base chariots types on, 50mm not 40mm but means there is no annoying overhang at the rear.

A bit retro with this unit as its metal not 3d printed 😀 15mm early C3rd CE Chinese cavalry from Lurkio as sold by Gripping Beast these days.
Very straight forward figures that paint up quicky but look pretty nice IMO. To add to an existing collection to give options.

Here is what I understand to be a (very) rare depiction of a C6th Sasanid cavalryman. The Resin Warfare figures are not an exact match but are close and at 15/18mm should work well. Also is consistent with the description in the Strategikon which is nice 🙂
