If I'm collecting a Republican Roman army, then as a solo gamer it makes sense to also collect a Carthaginian army! So, first up are some Spanish Scutarii. Just two bases done for now, but the other two bases will follow later.
These were fun to paint, although definitely a bit more time-consuming to do compared to the Romans. Thankfully, Scutarii shield patterns are quite straightforward to paint, so they didn't take too long. I really like the variety of figures you get with these packs from Newline Designs. I saw that there is another code available for Scutarii advancing, so I'll probably add a unit of those at some point, once this unit is done.
Greek hoplites next!
Lovely, I will come back to these pages for some inspiration when my Epic Carthaginian hit the painting table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, I hope it helps. Good luck with your Epic Carthaginians. I’ll look forward to following their progress.
DeleteBrilliant again Kevin ,the detailing on the shields is superb I'll check out these figures from newline I've only ever done a few 10mm Romans which are still in need of finishing but these from newline look great
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay. I think you won’t be disappointed with Newline figures - great value too.
DeleteNice haven't seen those newer Celtiberian sculpts before I'm jealous! They're beautifully painted too great job. Pleased to hear of another 20mm Punic war project!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony. I’m only just getting to know some of the different ranges of NL ancients. There are a lot, that’s for sure!
DeleteIf you need any guidance I've acquired most of the ancients although there's the odd newer sculpt that sneaks into old codes!
DeleteI noticed you mentioned scutarii advancing of you get them and Caetratii with them all having separate shields they can be used as either or!
