Nine painted Persian light skirmish infantry and heavy infantry in authentic costume, arms and armor. According to varying accounts of Persia's battlefield methodology, this hybrid unit of Persian infantry seems to have been the second line in their battle formation. Placed behind the archers and slingers, the Kardakes, axe-wielding heavy infantry, were established as a force meant to oppose Greek hoplites in the battle line. The unit was reinforced with lighter troops armed with javelins, who were meant to disrupt advancing troops as they closed for hand-to-hand combat.The set is in perfect scale to Expeditionary Force's Greeks, as well as Toy Soldiers of San Diego's and Fencibles' ancient-era figures. These figures are priced higher because of the incredible detail painted on their shields. If you wish plain shields call for a quote at a substantially lower price. Toll free: 1-888-825-8697.
