Late Achaemenid Persian Army

I painted this army almost ten years ago. The minis were based for DBA, a good set of rules that needs only twelve elements per player. Knowing that you need usually 2 to 4 figs per infantry element, and 2 or 3 riders per cavalry element, an army is complete with 30 to 50 figs, which is fine for slow painters as I.

Here is the army: 1/72 plastic figures by Hät and Zvezda.
