Last semester I took a graduate seminar (while in undergrad) on Xenophon's Anabasis of Cyrus and was inspired to get into historical minis having previously collected GW LOTR/Hobbit and 40K Orks. While this does not mean I am abandoning those ventures, I will be shifting my focus and attention here to Persian/Indian and Greek armies. I have started two blogs before for those respective systems, but never painted enough to give any meaningful updates. I hope that that will change here. I am getting more painting hours in as relaxation from the stress of senior year and am excited to share with y'all what I've been up to.
Cheers,
Daniel
PS: Here's a prelude to what I am working on.
Cissian archer, Persian Melophoroi (Apple Bearer) and Mede officer with sagaris.
There guys were experimented on with two different washes. The Army Painter soft tone on the left, and the right two with a Citadel wash. These were also the first minis I've ever done a wash on and the second minis I have ever painted after some Rohan warriors from LOTR. So, room for improvement, especially with the failed attempt at freehand painting Ahura Mazda on the Apple Bearer's shield.
Athenian hoplite (left) and Persian Immortal (right) in progress.
I think that this wash (Citadel), but less heavily applied than the last one's, came out best.
