About the Project

The Spring Clean Hobby Challenge has been accepted and it will bring to light an army that goes right back to the initial inspiration for me to get back into the hobby. I'll go through the whole process from inspiration to completion of a 28mm Sassanid Army for use with Swordpoint. I didn't get this off the ground at all last spring so I'm going at it again this time round. Having not learned any lessons from the false start I'm going bigger, MUCH bigger.

The Huns are the final unit for this force. Nearly ran out of steam but really wanted to see the army finished, and it is! Foundry miniatures, lovely Perry brothers sculpts.

Firstly we have a Sassanid noble. He’ll provide addtional command control remote from the general. Gripping Beast sculpt, LBMS shield transfer. I like the way the alternate red and blue has the look of purple from a distance, which is just our brain playing interpretative tricks on us.

The Shahanshah with banner bearer. The Sassanids had a sacred banner that when it took the field guaranteed victory, until it was lost in a defeat to the Arabs. Not sure what it looked like but I used a similar griffin banner for the Shah on elephant so thought this would work here too. It is lovely and big.

Gripping Beast sculpts, LBMS transfers and banner, beautiful work. I green stuffed the banner top and ends together to add a bit of impact.

So we are finished. Slightly late but what good thing isn’t worth waiting for. 1,000 points of Sassanids for Swordpoint. 9 units, 3 commanders. 140 completed models. Very proud of myself and looking forward to sweeping all before me once we get them onto the table later in the summer. 🙂

I’ve done a video for the first time ever which is hosted on my Instagram account:
