Persian Immortals

Persian Immortals by Thistle and Rose Miniatures. (Vendel) Have always loved these figures, although not to everyones taste. They are quite chunky especially whyen compared to most of the other Early Achaemenid ranges. Some of the recent plastics are a similar size, but probably more slender so would not generally mix. However the T&R range is fairly comprehensive for the Early and late Period where many other ranges lack the diversity.

They are also lovely to paint and worth spending a bit more time. Persians are probably not the easiest Ancient range to do real justice and are very time consuming compared to a lot of other armies. One of my first units painted over 45 years ago was a Persian Immortal unit so it was nice to re-visit this army. Still have a few more units to go but can now do late period and majority of early period.

Hope you enjoy the pics and maybe stimulate some inspiration.
