A Bit More Ancient Nostalgia - Chen's Persians

I published pictures of my Ancient Assyrians which I painted over 45 years ago.  At the time I said that I would try to get my old friend Chensie Chen to take some pictures of his 25mm Hinchliffe Ancient Achmaenid Persians.  Like my Assyrians these were painted over 45 years ago and look like the paint has stood the test of time.  Again, like my figures they have never seen action since the days when we would meet up on a Sunday and somehow use the old WRG 5th Edition rules.

So for a trip down memory lane when wargames figures were cheap(ish)  I give you Chen's rather nice looking Persians.

   

Can't find these in the Hinchcliffe listing so I am wondering if they were a Tradition figure?

Somehow these lads put up a good show against my Assyrians often beating them.  I think it had to do with the Persian archers having the bonus of being behind shields in archery exchanges; the camels being disruptive and of course things I remember seeing constant arguments in the 'Slingshot' about two handed cutting weapons!
