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.
beautiful work, great selection of colors. The detachment looks like a single whole.
ReplyDeletevery nice work
ReplyDeleteGreat work Kent! Shield decals are always a real pain in the butt to get on perfectly, but so rewarding when you are finally done.
ReplyDeleteSuperb, beautiful shields and great colors!

Excellent stuff! Nice to see Rome's greatest enemy
ReplyDeleteVery nice unit. I love the period and tempted by the Victrix range but should find first some rules to play
ReplyDeleteVery impressive, well done!
ReplyDeleteNice Carthos there Kent :)
ReplyDeleteReally nice work Kent. The shields look great.
ReplyDeleteVery 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!
ReplyDeleteAs a fully paid up member of the "decals are ace" club, I think they look superb. The two tone shields are very striking indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking Carthaginians Kent!

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!
ReplyDeleteCracking work, Kent!
Sharp looking bunch of ancients, Kent! Very clean brushwork and the details are very nicely done! Although a pain, the transfers were well worth the time!
