28mm Persian Army

As I was creating my Assyrian army that will be basically replacing the Persian Empire that we know in history, I decided to add a small force of Persian warriors to my Assyrian Army, just like I will use the Egyptians in the Assyrian Army. Here are a few pics of my Persian Army. Eventually this Assyrian army that will include Persians, Babylonians and Egyptians within face very large armies such as my Macedonian army, that I will post about later. 

My Persian army is made up of Vendel Miniatures aka Sgt Major Miniatures.

I have 96 Persian Foot.

28mm Babylonian Army

I have a small Babylonian army that is mostly used as Assyrian Auxiliary troops.

All of my Babylonians are from NewLine Design Miniatures. They are slightly smaller than Black Tree Design, but go well with the Immortal Miniatures, aka Warlord Games.

28mm Greek City States

Here are some pictures of my various Greek armies. I do not have as much as I like, but painting Greeks are a lot more work than most of the figures I painted, mainly the shields. But I use those Little Big Man shield transfers (a little expensive)  and they are not too hard to do.

Black Tree Design archers

Vendel Greeks. I kinda wish I painted the shields white in the center, but wanted a more bronze shield look. White would have made the shield decals pop more, but I am not perfect...just a rookie.

Essex Greeks. All the figures look better in person, the pics are not the greatest.

Black Tree Design and Essex Greeks.

These Greeks are a mix of Essex and Black Tree Design. They mix well together in separate units.

These are Vendel Greeks and Black Tree Design Greeks using Bronze Age Miniature shields with Little Big Man shield transfers.

28mm Egyptian Army

This is a small little update, nothing too exciting, but I can not leave them out.
One of my first 28mm Armies that I painted was an Egyptian army. I re-painted a few of them before I got better at painting 28mm. I used to just paint 15mm. But now I do not like painting 15mm and only like painting 28mm or above...I guess because I my eye sight is going. Here are a few pics of my Egyptian army.

Here are mostly Black Tree Design chariots with one Foundry Miniatures Egyptian Chariot.

Some of my Egyptian chariots are using old Ral Partha chariots with Black Tree Design horses, along with some shields from Wargods of Aegyptus from Crocodile games. My Egyptian foot are a mix of Vendel Miniatures aka Sgt Major Miniatures and Black Tree Design, which are the same scale.

Vendel Miniatues Egyptian Marines (aka Sgt Major Miniatures)

All of my Egyptians have old Vendel Miniature heavy shields (aka Sgt Major Miniatures). I do not like the Black Tree Design Egyptian shields, so I switched them out for Vendel shields.

I used a chestnut colored Citadel wash called Gryphonne Sepia on the white. For awhile I did not wash any of my figures, but I like them washed, so I washed all of my collection, which took about 2 weeks or so.

28mm Macedonian Army

Here are a few pictures of my 28mm Macedonian Army. All the figures are from Vendel Miniatures aka Sgt Major Miniatures now. Some of the cavalry are from Wargames Foundry. I think I have about 500 foot and about 80 cavalry. I also have 6 Elephants that I can switch out the rider in the howdah and use for my Assyrian army as well.

28mm Roman Auxilia

I bought a large amount of Early Roman Auxiliary troops from Black Tree Design. Plan on buying some Praetorian Romans soon from Black Tree Design, but not until next summer. 

The total count was about 528 foot and 60 Cavalry. I plan on buying half of that for the Praetorian Romans.
