A stone's throw from the Balaerics!

After galloping through the Equites Romani I wanted something simpler to paint. Fortunately next in line in the queue were 8 Balaeric slingers, Aventine Miniatures figures again. They provide some skirmishing firepower of sorts and can deploy both for the Republican Romans and for the Carthaginians, a handy addition to the collection. I've mounted them 4 figures to a base 80x50mm in size ~
Next in line are some of the Agema Miniatures figures which Matt sent me as a birthday gift. It will provide a small vignette base to grace the camp I am planning for later in the project. Watch this space, as the Admen might say!

  4. A useful little unit David...
    They would certainly work in a number of armies.

    All the best. Aly

    1. Thanks George, I guess they are very common in Ancient armies.
