Next out of the lead pile and into the ranks of the painted is a unit of Old Glory 28mm Javelinmen.
I like the animation of these figures.
The sculpting on their cane shields works well, too.
As usual, minor distinctions allow the unit to become two smaller, 2 stand units if needed.
They'll probably fight like rubbish, although perhaps a cut above the masses of Levy Spearmen.!
I like the figure animation too. The yellow makes the whole stand 'pop!' What exactly is the headgear?
ReplyDeleteThe yellow is a mutual favorite, Delta CC "Straw". I think Stryker has it right, a cloth or knit cap, commonly seen on Sassanid soldiers, especially the lower classes.
DeleteAh, yes; Delta CC Straw is a mutual favorite! I favor the more pastelly colors for ancients having a softer and more subdued shade than the bright colors.
DeleteYes, I agree in general; dyes weren't very intense or light stable back then.
DeleteThey look like they mean business and I like the 60s style beehive headwear!
ReplyDeleteThanks; I think you're right, rather like the kind of tall knit caps sometimes seen on African Americans or Caribbean residents.
