I'm on the home stretch with the Parthian army now, with just the horse archer strips to paint and then base, so I'm turning my attention to the extra bits and bobs that I need to wrap things up including terrain and baggage. One of these things that I need do sort out are the commanders for both the Imperial Roman and the Parthian armies, so I've been playing around with some Antonine Miniatures bits to come up with something that will work.
The Roman general will have a command tent and a strip from the skirmisher pack to represent his Praetorian bodyguard, with a couple of standards to be added using fine gauge brass wire. The Parthian general will just have a horse block but again with the addition of a standard or two to make it obvious that it's a command base and not just a detached group of cataphracts. I think these will do the trick?
That works for me even before painting.
