Well now, there were many times since I started out on my Punic Wars project when I wondered if it would ever be completed, what with age, eye, hand and coronavirus malarky all stacking up against me. However, with the completion of this second base representing another Celtiberian warband the Carthaginian army can be signed off as completed, for now anyway!
The figures used are from Crusader Miniatures, both their mail armoured Celtiberian packs and three figures from their Celt command pack. As poses go they are pretty static, not at all what I would have preferred in generating an overall look for a warband, but, as I said in the post accompanying the first Warband base, hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing.
Like the first Warband they are similarly based on a 100x80mm MDF base, from Warbases as ever, and the A&A shields are fitted with the wonderful LBM shield transfers! I don't think I can face any more bronze for a few days, but I do have one or two other things on the go, so I won't be entirely idle...
Even by your focused standard you have done extremely well on the project. Another splendid addition to the project too👍💥
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! I'm really enjoying my bronze free few days!
DeleteA wonderful finish to your project David!

Only one side finished Christopher! Back to the Republican Roman allies next month.
DeleteCongratulations! Your latest warband looks great.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Jonathan.
DeleteNice to have got there and the last base is a corker, the shield designs really set things off.
ReplyDeleteThe shield designs distract from any number of painting shortcomings.
DeleteWell done on completing things, for the moment at least. As always they look fantastic and hope to see them all arrayed for battle soonish.
ReplyDeleteNo prospect of a game any time soon, but I thought I might lay out the whole collection sometime just to see what I've done.
DeleteGrest looking figures David. Love those sheilds.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray. LBM shield transfers are a wonder really!
ReplyDeleteLooking good David.....I prefer the phrase battle ready not finished. And it would be nice to see the force all together 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. Judging by the outcome of games we've managed this year my armies are never battle ready!
DeleteGreat looking troops! I've really enjoyed watching you build your Carthaginian army, nicely varied and colourful throughout!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain, glad it's been enjoyable for you. Next month I shall start my Allies for the Republican Romans (DV)!
DeleteWould love to see the army on parade. All the best Airhead
ReplyDeleteI hope to be able to oblige next week perhaps. A bit busy on chore front at present.
DeleteLovely colours, very alive. I had to take Celts for my Galatians, can't remember where I got them but although fairly bland pose wise, they do fight well, so I am reluctant to replace them. Superstitious Moi?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt that superstition plays a part in the Veteran Wargamer's psyche!
DeleteThey look great, no reservations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gonsalvo for that splendid endorsement!
DeleteWhat a lovely collection - congratulations on completing the project
ReplyDeleteThank you, but a tad premature as Allied cavalry and legion still to finish for the Republican Romans.
