I'm finally making a start on my Late Sassanid army and starting small with a unit of Daylamite Light Infantry which can, with the removal of the main command models, also serve as Kurdish skirmishers too.
As usual, there are a more pictures and discussion re: Daylamites in Sassanian armies on my blog here:

I've based the unit on an image I had saved from the net but have now lost any reference to (if anyone can help with the reference I'd be grateful?)

Thanks and apologies for not replying sooner. ididn't receive the notification. (I probably need to have another look at my settings)
Thank you for your kind words Lanceflint. I picked up some of the Foundry Sassanids (sculpted by the Perry's some 20 plus years ago); as well as being superb sculpts, surprisingly large they will make excellent lightly armed Dailamite and/or Kurdish skirmisher types. Pictures to follow when they're painted up! :)
