From: MartinC - The Tale of the Numidian Warriors and the Massive Beaver (255 points)

These Numdians fought today,  lost badly.  Not their fault, I blame the General. I bought them in the Northstar Christmas sale (75p each - Bargain)




I was playing the Republican Romans using KoW and they get a single throw pilum so I needed some markers - no idea how many points 1/2 each sounds OK

My 2nd elephant, Northstar safari collection. I cast the bodies and legs from a Numidian cavalryman


This Numidian Cavalryman


Finally the massive Beaver

Mr Lee 40mm Beaver.Very cool fig,not as good as the Gorilla King but a good fig



Tale of the tape

40 28mm infantry = 200pts
1x 28mm elephant= 30pts
1x28mm cavalry = 10
8xmarkers = 4pts?
1x40mm beaver = 7

Total 251pts

Martin, those Numidians are very good indeed! They really look the part, with very nice shields and great basing to finish them of in grand style. That beaver is a lot of fun and I like the details like the gnawed on logs on the base. I will not be called a miser and will award you 1 point each for the markers, novel idea by the way ;-) all in all a very nice entry for today.

    1. Beaver is mad isn't it. Sometimes you just have to paint a figure you have no use for at all
