Basing Sassanids on a Sunday Afternoon

I got a whole bunch of 'em to do today!

Another New Period/Scale.....

Hmmmm, it seems somebody has been a little too promiscuous on Kickstarter.  15mm ancients this time via the recent War and Empire kickstarter.  I picked up 2 armies - Imperial Romans and Sassanid Persians.

I do want to report the quality of the miniatures is fantastic - I'm very happy with them, although I do have a good bit of painting to do now.  If only there was an event coming up that could motivate my painting mojo.... I seem to remember something.

Those of you with better memories might recall that I've got both Imperial Roman and Dacian armies in 28mm and might wonder why I'm doing something so similar in another scale.  Well, you see, that's a funny story and ummm.....  Oh hell, I have no idea why I'm doing it but it really seemed like a good idea at the time.

Anyway, there's nothing illegal or immoral about collecting the same army in multiple scales.  I prefer to think of it as being "thorough"rather than "compulsive".  Of course, one has to concede that having the same army in four or more scales might be pushing the definition of thorough a bit to far.
