From KentG: 28mm Carthaginian Veterans (120 Points)

In this submission we have 24 Carthaginian vets these are part of an ongoing commission that i've been slowly adding to over the past year, they are Victrix models with some nice detail but man you have to be careful of those spears and the transfers were a right pain -  took me an hour and a half to get them attached. I'm happy with the end result, but even happier to be back to the naps, oh and another sneaky wee side-project.


I thought that these would be a fast paint, but they actually took a bit to get finished.

Stunning work, Kent! I really like the chain armour and bronze helmets - very clean brushwork. I sympathize with the decals, but, as you say, they really help tie the unit together. 

Another 120 points for your climb up the roster. Again, cracking stuff.

  2. Great work Kent! Shield decals are always a real pain in the butt to get on perfectly, but so rewarding when you are finally done.

  4. Happy to get back to naps? Each to his/ her own I guess, but your Romans are quite a treat I‘d say.

  8. Very nice unit. I love the period and tempted by the Victrix range but should find first some rules to play

  10. Very cool Kent. I really like the wood effect on the rear of the shields. Great attention to detail on something seemingly insignificant but it's something their general will see a lot of!

  11. As a fully paid up member of the "decals are ace" club, I think they look superb. The two tone shields are very striking indeed.

  13. Here's to Hannibal, who came within an ace of defeating the power of Rome - and these are the chaps who helped him do it!

    Cracking work, Kent!
