The latest recruits from the painting-table are some Carthaginian heavy infantry for my Punic army. These are from the Victrix Warriors of Carthage box set. The set contains enough figures to produce 24 * Veterans in chainmail, 24 * Libyans in linen armour, and 14 * Libyan Javelinmen.

One thing that is noticeable with this set is how much finer the detail is compared to some of the earlier figures. Below I've shown a close-up of the spears on the Carthaginians and Roman Triarii - the so you can see the relative thickness.
