I'm nearing the end of my long journey to raise both Roman and Carthaginian forces to refight the Punic wars in 28mm. The latest from the painting table is a unit of Punic heavy cavalry, a Numidian prince and Hannibal himself.

All the models are from First Corps, purchased back before Christmas at the Warfare show in Reading. The only slight issue I had was that half the shields had an off concave centre to them. Looking on their website this might be deliberate as many seem to feature this, rather than a moulding fault. It would however have made it impossible to use the transfers I bought, so I filled in the dimples with milliput.
Now all I need to do is some Carthaginian heavy infantry and they are ready to take the field.
Very nice! I have a few Carthaginians myself (Gripping Beast) another of those half finished projects. What rules will you be using?
ReplyDeleteI've been searching for a good set for ages. Roy shown us Armati and we've also looked at Sword & Spear. Currently I'm thinking a tweaked version of Crusader to make them suitable for multiplayer games.
ReplyDeleteStill got to get those Punic foot painted first
