The three Skirmisher stands will be given updated paint jobs and bases.
The Light Foot are getting brass rod spears to replace the straight pins and some better paint jobs on the clothing. There is an ilustration of Iranian infantry from the 6th century B.C. found in Armies of the Ancient Near East (WRG, 1984) which shows them wearing a long sleeved tunic, large rectangular shield made of reed and leather, and long socks and boots in the Assyrian style. These figures are wearing trousers and shoes but I think they are close enough, especially if I paint the trousers in Assyrian-looking patterns . The headress is a fairly close match also.
The six stands of Javelin Cavalry are getting the most work. One stand is being converted to look like the Mannaean mounted warrior in the WRG book: boots, kilt, a "mullet" type hairstyle, armor on the horses chest, and a beadwork strap around the neck with a bell at the end. The rest are geting brass javelins and in some cases an animal fur cape draped over the right side of the body.
