...is moving forward with the completion of the last base of three figures for the Numidian Light Cavalry. These are A&A Figures combining their Light Cavalry with figures from what they label as their Infantry Command pack. Two of the latter are dressed totally differently to the standard figure, complete with a Roman saddle and horse archer equipment. I wouldn't have used them ideally, but I wanted four bases of three figures, so I'll just squint when they are deployed in a game and pretend not to notice ~
Next in the painting queue are more Numidians, Light Infantry this time, also by A&A Miniatures, so here's a sneak preview of the first base I've completed ~
After those I've an eclectic collection lined up: Aventine Miniatures Greek Hoplite mercenaries; Foundry Gallic Heavy Cavalry; Crusader Miniatures Roman Marching Camp; and lastly, Agema Miniatures Sacrifice sets. The latter two items are just for light relief from the anticipated painting tedium of the first two mentioned units. More as and when.
Very nice work David, but I can't help but think that the trumpter in the first 'photo is about to deafen the central figure on that base! Love the variety of shield coverings BTW.
ReplyDeleteThanks SteveJ, much appreciated. The trumpet is actually well behind the central figure!
DeleteVery nice David and an extra well done on the shields!

Thank you Christopher. The shield ideas I borrowed from the LBM sheet for Victrix Numidians. Why anyone would buy them escapes me, they're pretty easy to paint.
DeleteThese are lovely David. I must admit I have a soft spot for the Numidians and these look great. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery kind Robbie, your encouragement is much appreciated.
DeleteGood progress David.....I do like the shields 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt.
DeleteSplendid additions to your collection David...
ReplyDeleteI also like the shields... very nice indeed.
All the best. Aly
Many thanks Aly.
DeleteTold you the shields were good didn't I.
ReplyDeleteYes, you did, I should listen to you more in future.
DeleteA cracking job on this famous army David, love the shields!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Phil.
DeleteLooking great; the Numidian Light Cavalry were a key element in Hannibal's forces; when they switched to supporting the Romans. it really hurt Carthage (of course, in fairness, that was also because Carthage was clearly on the wane by then, thanks to the efforts of Scipio and company).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Gonsalvo.
DeleteProject coming along well, lovely units.
ReplyDeleteBit of a quiet day today, just some basing of the last Numidian Light Infantry and the first base of Gallic Heavy Cavalry.
DeleteThese look great. I particularly like the range of shields.

Thank you James, encouragement always welcome!
