Early Asiatic Successor

[OldenTired]

Hi, my copy of Immortal Fire isn't arriving for ages... but I'm wondering if I couldn't get a painting guide in the meantime.

I'm wondering how closely will the Early Successors list will resemble the DBM one?

I'm painting Pantodopai, and assuming that there will be at least 3 BG of 8.
Also Xystophoroi and assuming there will be one BG of 6 (and hoping like hell they can at least be superior armoured lancers...).
Same for 1 BG each of Persian Archers/Slingers LI.

Where it gets tricky is in the options.
I'm currently working off the assumption that there will be one BG of Satrapal HC similar to the later achaemenid persian cav off the beta lists, that or they'll be Thracian etc.

The one that I really wonder about though is the Argyraspids vs. hoplites. Will the list contain and option for either/or, similar to the DBM list?
