From VictorK: Ancient Iberians in 15mm (100 pts)

Okay, as I've promised a week ago, here are some Iberian allies (again allies!) for roman forces. Minis are 15mm Forged in Battle. There are many different sculpts in the pack, I must just say, they are awesome, but it was really hard to paint them after Gauls - more details, also, I've never painted linothorax, this is quite a difficult task.

First is the group photo, 3 units of 16 guys.


And unit-by-unit pictures.





So, again, I went for different shield designs (lots of thanks for you guys, your kind words were really nice to read!), but this time there were less colours - I want to make Iberians look as more "regular" and disciplined force, than Gauls, but not like Romans or Hellenistic forces.

There are 48 15mm foot, so 96 points for this time.

Next to go are either some 28mm space-pirates-and-soldiers, or 15mm Iberian cavalry, I'll see, how it goes.

Oh wow Victor, I liked your Gauls last week a lot, but these are stonking. Really fine work, in such a simple colour scheme. The shield designs really bring these fierce Iberian warriors to life. I've heard lots of people raving about how good Forged in Battle miniatures are, and you've really done these justice. 
96 base points, but let's round that up to reflect the extra work from the shield designs.
