I'm curious about doing a Parthian army for Armati, but I don't see much as far as sets go. There are two bad sets for CATs, but no CM, LC or SI sets as I've seen and I don't know enough about the army or other armies in the area of where to draw units from.
Help?

Well, you can take a look at the osprey book to find out what you're looking for as far as appearance goes. www.newlinedesigns.co.uk has some 20mm Parthians. I looked at their Han Chinese, and the production quality seems to be good. Only problem is that they may look just a little bit shorter than 1/72 plastic. I was comparing body sizes, and it actually looks like the figures are the same height, they just don't have as think a base. Anyhow, you can send to them to get a sample of their range, just need to enclose 3 international reply coupons, which costs less than 5 bux. Looking at their minis www.newlinedesigns.co.uk/gallery/studio/25mm-parthian/parthian_horse_archers.htmYou can see that the light cav could probably be at least partially made up of figs from the persian light cav set. The cataphracts www.newlinedesigns.co.uk/gallery/studio/25mm-parthian/pa3.htmlook rather similar to an upcoming HaT set www.hat.com/Prev/M8086RC.htmlI'll look around a bit more to see if there are any other 20mm manufacturers of parthians. |

For the moment at least...
But the HaT cataphracts should arrive sometime...
At that point you could probably do some nice Parthians with just a few head swaps to liven things up a bit.
