From SteveG: More Ancients (110 points)

 Had an extra day of painting with a public holiday here so went hard to complete these ancient guys! 

Thureophoroi - mostly the new plastic Victrix but a few metal Aventine 

Octopus shield in middle free handed. 

Easter Phalangites - from Succersor Phalangites by Victrix.  

They have the option to snip off their legs and use the trousered ones. I think they look quite cool and the process is  easy enough to do. 

Ptolemaic Phalangites.  Some Aventine some Warlord Games 

Eastern Phalanx again 

Banner man has an Aventine head. Just drilled out the plastic neck and inserted the metal head

Transfers from Nailodia on Ebay. Designed as finger nail art ! Better utilized for miniature shield I reckon !  

Lion transfer by Nailodia , other Little Big Man studios. 

                                                ResinWarfare 3D printed Carthaginians

                                    I love their " special character and command models".  

And that's it  for now.   Working on some Romans for next week ,  They should have an interesting story to tell .     Steve G    Points =   22 x 5.

From Millsy:

Sounds like we spent our long weekends in very similar ways mate, with brush in hand. There are certainly worse ways to spend a weekend that's for sure.

Another fine crop of ancients! The linothorax is brilliant. So many miniature versions are painted white or buff but there's evidence to suggest a wide range of colours were used to edge them or even paint large parts. Great to see that realised, it adds so much interest. Good to see I'm not the only one who has dipped their toe into nail art too.

110 more points for the tally Steve. Nice one.

Cheers,
Millsy
