I've never been entirely happy with the command stand of my cohort of Palmyran auxilary archers, and recently decided to replace their centurion (who has transferred to my Naval Legion) with an A&A command figure, from an eBay purchase, who has a much more Eastern flavour. At the same time I also took the opportunity to upgrade the pre-Silflor base. I'm very pleased with the outcome; although somewhat anachronistic, the new mini fits in very well (although, with hindsight, I might perhaps have given him a longer tunic).
Beautiful painting!!

Excellent painting, really like the baasing too.
ReplyDeleteI thank you... although only a humble stand of skirmishers, they came out better than some of my Generals!
