Here is a suggestion for the Early Persians. Again, a simple balanced list rather than competition tuned. The list gives options to field the army of Cyrus or Xerxes. This one is for Cyrus
Commanders
1 x General = 0 pts
5 x Satrap = 100pts
Cavalry
1 x 6 Iranian Guard Cavalry with Spear, bow, light armour, half barding, superior shooters, superior fighters, stubborn = 162 pts
1 x 6 Iranian Heavy Cavalry with javelin, bow, light armour, half barding, superior shooters = 126pts
2 x 5 Iranian Light cavalry with bow, skirmishers = 160 pts (80 pts each)
Infantry
3 x 6 Iranian Line troops with spear and Spara and light armour = 360 pts (120 pts each)
2 x 6 Iranian Levy with bow, inferior fighters, inferior shooters, levies = 48pts (24 pts each)
Light troops
1 x 6 Phyrgians with Javelin, throwing spear and shield, open order, warband = 84 pts
1 x 6 slingers with sling, inferior fighters, skirmishers = 30 pts
990pts
This list gives the spara armed troops to provide a solid centre with some good supporting cavalry and a quantity of cheap levy.
Hope this helps - cheers W.
