This is the second cavalry element in the Persian DBA army. Officially the figures are meant to represent an optional cavalry general element, and so they represent a Satrap and his guards. But, I knew I would never field a 3Cv general (why, when the chariot is classed the same as a 3Cv but looks cooler?), but I wanted to paint the Satrap. I am pretty happy with the way this turned out, especially the coat over the shoulder look! Originally the two guards were the same pose, but I wanted a standard bearer, so I converter one to have an arm up. Note that I used no decals on these figs only freehand painting!
