Sergeant at Arms
Monster hangover at the moment but tomorrow I'm putting up a full thread on Persia as a faction and its units.
The Parameridia horse armour was very rare but there are enough examples of it in art and in textual references to be fairly certain that in turned up on more than just general's luxury pieces.
As for the re-work its still slightly too large on the lower portion. The riders feet need to poke out more visibly - I know it doesn't seem like the most efficient design but the images always have the feet unprotected. Simply put, the armour was extremely expensive and very heavy so minimalism seems to have been the order of the day.
I just noticed the saddle cloth and croped mane by the way, really great job!
