Hello guys!
Finally , since 2020, I managed to finish my Lakhmid cavalry for my Sassanid army.
Here you have the first post with the history and conversion process:

The miniatures are a mixture of Gripping beast plastic Arab heavy cavalry, Armorum & Aquila Sassanids horse archers in armor. I painted them mostly in Vallejo and Foundry paints in triads.
I started the painting process in early March, but an eyes operation prevented me to finish the unit until May! I tried to use earthy and warm tones, like the illustration above, I also painted a couple of horse saddle with leopard skin like the noble warrior of the illustration.
The shields are A&A with Little big men studios decals from their Sassanid range.
The plastic horses are nice and pleasant to paint, also the plastic rider, which , in my opinion, is a good miniature compared with other plastic kits from Gripping Beast.
The unit is based for Impetus or Basic Impetus, like the rest of my late antiquity armies.
I hope you like them!
