These are a mix of manufacturers but are mostly Pendraken. The crazy thing is that most of this was painted in 2020 and most of that in the past six weeks.
Arg, the photos posted out of order and I am too lazy to correct it...you will figure it out.

I've resized the images to make them easier to see.
Impressive stuff, shame not to get the full impact!
Love not only the troops but things like the bullock carts, fort, camp and casualties.
Superb array of stuff.

Thank you!
I am diving deep into my Pendraken Persians and Greeks now, it is great to have such a complete range available for the period.

Great stuff!!
A very impressive array.
Very nice!
Very cool selection there! 8)
Well done.
:-bd =D> :-bd
You have been busy :)
What rule set(s) do you use?
They look lovely. Wish I could paint that well that fast
Amazing - prolific and a lovely quality.
Impressive! Would love to see some closeup pictures!
Thanks folks.
I am primarily playing To the Strongest! right now, but I actually originally collected and based these models for Kings of War and Hail Caesar. I have tried Age of Hannibal and Warmaster with these minis and I'd like to try Impetvs as well.
As far as closeups, here's one I have on hand, unfortunately they don't hold up quite as well at eye level:

If that's your standard for "don't hold up quite as well at eye level" I hope to goodness you never critique my figures!!!
But, if we're going for understatement, let me say,"I wouldn't be ashamed to put those on the table." :)
Seconded
:-bd =D> :-bd =D>
Thirded !!
They all look terrific ! :-bd =D> :-bd
Cheers - Phil
So few ? ;)
Saw these over on the TtS! Forum but just wanted to say excellent job again. Looking forward to the Heraclea battle report. Can you still have a pyrrhic victory if you play both sides?
Fantastic work =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
Matthew, if I may ask.
How have you achieved that ground effect on the bases shown here?
That is an impressive display! :-bd =D>
Superb detail.
Having never seen a Persian pavise in such detail before; I wonder hoe the originals were constructed.
Can anybody explain?
They were covered wickerwork, designed to stop arrows primarily.

Yes.....I took a small slab of a thinned Milliput type putty....and then slapped some green stuff oblongs on the front.
Ah, right...That's not what you meant, is it ? :D

Thanks folks! I am midway through a Heraclea battle report right now. Unintentionally the game recreated some of the drama of the original battle.
The basing is dead simple:
Pva sand, mix in some cork or rock rubble.
Do not paint the sand.
Hit it with a coat of Devlan mud.
Hit some patches with the GW cracked earth technical basing paint (forget the name).
Drybrush one or two colors.
Pva some mixed static grass.
Pva tufts directly on top of the grass which helps to secure it.
Try harder than I did to keep vegetation somewhat consistent within an army group and it adds to the effect. My Indians and my Tyrells all have prominent flower bushes which really pulls them together. I try to avoid lush greens for my arid peoples.
