From the Greek line, MAG16 Astolian Light Javelin.
Shields, useful for all sorts of light troops
For variety in your hoplite army: MAE1 Etruscan Hoplites,
and the Persian MAP8 - Scythed Chariots
MAP3 Persian Spearmen and MAP4 Horse Archers
The horse archers, again, useful for all sorts of armies, the Spearmen less so, I think. In two ranks barely fitting on a 2cm deep base, they carry their shield at the side, so don't look quite right from the front with their slender profile.
There's no Sparabara code in the Persian H&R line, so I had kinda hoped that these were intended as such and carried paveses, but no luck.
Now for some painted examples:
MAG1 City Hoplites. If you want to see truly well painted shields you have to go here: http://vendheaume.fighters.pagesperso-orange.fr/awmarmys.html
MAP07 Armored Cavalry. I should do more with the shields, like in the next picture:
The bulk of the Persian army: MAP02 Archers
Those will have to do for my Sparabara. I thought of maybe putting a line of the Immortals above on a narrow 1.5cm base (on 1cm they might topple over too easily) in front of each stand to better represent them.
MAP04 Horse Archers. Can be used for all sorts of steppe people.
