Khurasan Miniatures: New 15mm Parthians and More Coming!


Khurasan Miniatures: We have released the first codes for our 15mm Parthian Empire ranges -- early Parthians, and foot archers for the Parthians or their client states (which are also suitable for Seleucid easter levy archers).

These are for the earlier part of Parthian history, when they had established themselves in the old satrapy and were at war with the Seleucids and, later, the Republican Romans.  The Iranian Revival in Parthia was not yet in full swing, and chainmail was not yet in use, so these may look a bit different than you're accustomed to, but this was the fighting force that put the scare into the Seleucid army so that they adopted their own cataphracts. 

There's some controversy as to whether Parthian cataphracts carried archery equipment, so we have provided a separate gorytos bowcase/quiver with them and the command set so you can decide for yourself whether to add them.  The standardbearers in the command sets are supplied with both a (bare) flagpole and a draco.
