My third submission for this year's
Painting Challenge is complete - a 6 6mm Parthian army in 6mm. The figures are from Baccus (of course) and where a lot of fun to paint up. Looking forward to getting these chaps on the table top when the lock downs begin to ease.
As with the earlier Republican Roman force these are all based for the Age of Caesar rule et and use 40mm square basing.
While one first thinks of cavalry when considering Parthians, they did field some infantry. My little force has 8 bases of foot archers and 2 bases of skirmishers.
and 4 bases of medium, spear armed infantry. Maybe not the most fearsome of foot borne troops but they'll be effective speed bumps.
The workhorse of any Parthian force are mounted archers and this little army has 20 bases of them.
The armored fist for the Parthians are cataphracts and this force can field up to 10 bases.
Lastly, just for a bit of fun, some armored camel cataphracts - because who doesn't want camel borne cavalry.
I'll add to the infantry when the Baccus cart opens up.
Next up for the Challenge - a return to work on the 15mm Stalingrad project
