Early Achaemenid Persian Sparabara - Unit 2

This is the second of the initial 4 units of Sparabara that I will be fielding. The figures are again 28mm front rank from Crusader Miniatures, and rear rank archers Miniature Design Studios.

I feel the big challenge with painting up an Early Achaemenid Persian army is lots of variety in the colour scheme. I'm hoping once it's all on the table I get the feeling that it represents the diverse nature of the Persian Empire. There are many troop types I intend to include in the collection that I haven't bought the figures for yet, namely the Indian contingent, and some Egyptian Marines.
