Bactrians and (?) Medes

First two units of the Warrior figures painted. As these figures are in 10s I've used Garrison officers and standard bearers with them - you can easily see how well the two ranges fit together.

The first unit is a Bactrian unit so I've decorated the tunics.  Quite nice figures but the spears won't behave themselves!

Next figure doesn't match any figure from the book and I'll just be using as generic hill tribes or something. As such I've given them plain, rather dowdy, costumes. Both units seem to have come out OK.

Another 'Bactrian' unit.

With 5 separate  Corps of Xerxes armies using soldiers dressed and equipped in Bactrian  style I was a little short on figures based on Herodotus. This unit will help towards the shortfall!

I've gone for a plain style for these.

 

The idea is that by doing various different styles they look like different nationalities!

Next lot may go for brighter colours and patterns!
