Immortals completed

I've been quite busy painting away while Cathy has been in New York:

These are the archer figures I have been intending to add to the armoured spearmen I've already painted.

I do enjoy painting them, and they look nice and bright when finished.  But all those stripes are rather time-consuming!

They make a nice change from Romans and Hoplites, though...

The figures are by Foundry.

Here is the completed unit of 36, together with shield barricade.

And another shot, from the gamer's perspective.  I already have another load of archers to add to the unarmoured spearmen, which will give me a unit of spara types as my token contribution to the Persian forces at Plataea.  My running total for this year is now 195 25/28mm figures finished.  I'm hoping to get to around 500-600 if I can.  I think I'll manage because I have five units of partly worked Garrison hoplites to finish, plus whatever else I manage.
