28mm Achaemenid Persians: Slingers

 My Commands and Colors scenarios call for two units of Persian slingers, and here they are! The slingers get an extra hex of range over the standard light infantry.


I went for more drab colors on these troops. I'm not sold on the idea of slingers with shields, but that's how they came.

  1. Nice work! I always wonder how a slinger operates with a shield strapped to his arm.

    1. Agreed. I may trim them from any follow up figures.

  2. They look the part, very nice work on them, Have to agree about the shields, can't see how they would work for slingers, but then again, what do I know?!

    1. I would like to see someone sling stones with a shield in one hand. I doubt it can be done.
