Unarmoured infantry packs done for Sassanids.

We have added 4 packs of unarmoured infantry to the store, two with round shield and javelin and two with large shield and spear. As you can see, I have put the shields on the spearmen with the pointed end up as that is what we feel is correct way. The difficulty comes from the finds lacking any handles or other evidence to support either method. We feel that given historical precedent and practicality this pointly way up is the more likely. The Osprey illustrators have it the other way as in the first set of packs(the reason they were setup in that way). The models are such that you can do whichever way you feel is correct or just looks better.
