There are 23 of them, there are 12 per box but I needed one to use to cast more elephant riders. This worked OK and so there is another elephant to make from the Northstar safari collection.
These guys, and next weeks submission, will fight on Sunday with republican Romans against evil Persians. My first battle using my Rep Romans resulted in their slaughter because they got mullered by elephants. Hence my need for elephants in their 2nd battle.
23 cavalry = 230 pts
Martin, that is one awesome and massive block of speedy death on horses. Those Numidians really look the part. How in the world did you get those lines of the Carthaginian Goddess symbol on their shields so thin? It looks really nice. The basing is great too since it could be used in Northern Africa but also easily pass for Northern Italy at that, so if Hannibal takes these chaps over for a well deserved vacation you do not need to rebase. 230 well earned points indeed. I am wondering though, why your sister was baffled...
Cheers Sander
Look splendid. I've been looking with interest the new Victrix ancients but first I must find a suitable rulesbook before jumping

Lovely work Martin :)

ReplyDeleteCheers sander. Used a fine line pen for shield. Bit too fine
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done, I had not realized that Victrix did ancient cavalry.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Victrix ancients range is excellent, inf, cav and elephants
DeleteNicely done Martin, love the shield designs. I'll go with a fine point marker at times too. Plus you've baffled your sister in the bargain. Other than embarrassing your offspring public, what could be better?
ReplyDeleteCheers, pens very useful at the right time. My sister fundamentally only understands booze
DeleteGreat painting Martin, but the "baffled sister" was my favourite part of this post. Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteTa, she's only occasionally baffled and usually by me
DeleteWhat a wonderful bunch of dusty looking chaps! Great work Martin. I hope these lads give you good service against the Persians in your upcoming game.
ReplyDeleteCheers, I love 'em. Hopefully, my 4th game of KoW and I've yet to win. May read the rules this time
DeleteRead the rules - good lord man don't do any that rash!
Deleteanother great horde Martin
ReplyDeletecheers mate
DeleteReally nice mob of Numidians, letting the side down though, I mean reading the rules, it's just not on!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
ta. I know but I keep getting caught on the flank, rules are a bit random on that bit
DeleteWow! Now that's what I call a cavalry charge! Amazing work on some very nice figs, Martin.
ReplyDeletecheers, look great on mass don't they
DeleteThat they do!
DeleteAwesome! Great kit on my future purchase list. Great painting. Cheers
ReplyDeletethanks, recommend then
DeleteAlways liked Numidians this look excellent
ReplyDeleteMe too, thanks
DeleteThey look great en masse Martin! You need another 8 boxes worth though do do things properly :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, maybe 6 more
DeleteLovely drab tones, and a simple yet sinister shield design.
ReplyDeleteThanks, love doing shields
DeleteVery spiffy numedian cav, Martin! I like the animation in them very much and the bits of detail you scattered through the ranks. They are spot on to my favorite plate from a cavalry book. A numedian scouting from horseback with a fistful of javelins!
