Impetvs Persian Cavalry


Three units of Xyston 15mm Miniatures Persian Cavalry in Linen Armour. These figures are great to paint up but a pain in the back side to drill holes through the hands to carry the javelins/spears. I based these figures on 60mm x 40mm instead of the standard Impetvs frontages for 15mm figures which are 80mm x 40mm/60mm

Impetvs Babylonian Colonists


Hi Guys, these are my 15mm Xyston Babylonian Colonists Cavalry based for Dadi/Piombo Impetvs Ancient War Gaming set of rules designed and developed by Lorenzo Sartori.

I fasten the figures on 60mm x 40mm, instead of 80mm x 30mm/40mm, Litko plywood bases giving me 6 units.

You will notice one missing rider, sometimes you will find missing parts in the Xyston packs or even the odd miniature i.e. A pack of Hypaspists had one Cretan bow man with seven Hypaspists and no shields, so funny, oh well not to worry, I did have fun painting these guys up though.

Impetvs Successor Peltasts


Two units of Early Seleucid Peltasts. 15mm Xyston Hellenistic Thracian's.

These two units are based for Impetus Ancient War game rules set. The frontage of the bases are actually 6cm x 4cm, used for 5mm - 10mm miniatures. As you can see, no problem placing 15mm figures on these base sizes. The Standard Impetvs base sizes for 15mm figures are 8cm x 3 or 4 cm for infantry and 8cm x 6cm for cavalry are to big to handle/store etc.....
