I'm a great believer in the thought that, for wargames figures, the most important visual aspect are decent shields. The Spanish figures have excellent shields.
The scutari have been put into 24 figure units though I actually have 30 of each - the 'spares' may find a use later.
This unit is a later PB version than the other two. I think the officer is a Byzantine.
The cavalry have been posted in the earlier 'Sorting Carthage' blog but are here to make it complete. Also, I like the figures.
Nothing to say about the caetrati - they're well painted light infantry.
Never sure whether I should include Balearic slingers with the Spanish, but there isn't anywhere else to sensibly put them so...
I'll admit I really like this contingent.
I really like them too!
ReplyDeleteThis Carthaginian army has several advantages over most of the others - it's better defined, painted to a good standard already, and it's mostly complete. All pluses as far as I'm concerned.
DeleteNice army. They give a good example how striking shield designs work on the overall look of an army. Also good to see one as colorful as yours.
ReplyDeleteCan't claim any credit for the paintwork - it's mostly how they came.
