Hi All,
More progress on the Carthaginian front. For this post I have 12 Carthaginian cavalry from Aventine Miniatures in 28mm. These are a mix of packs, some sold as Carthaginian cavalry, others as successor cavalry.
These figures will be my last unit of ethnic Carthaginian cavalry for the army.
I am generally a pretty big fan of aventine miniatures but these cavalry will definitely look quite small next to their Victrix brothers I did for my first entry. Most of the rest of the cavalry for this project will be Victrix, so hopefully they don't look too out of scale when massed together.
Some of these cavalry I have actually been holding onto since around 2018 when I first got back into miniatures and had originally wanted to do a Carthage project, so it was nice to finally get these completed and onto the table top.

The basing on these figures is a little sparse, I actually was shocked to realize I was basically out of nice tufts! However I am reasonably happy with the basing, and think it gives a decent enough dry North African feel.
First the foot and now the horse. These aer wonderful Harry, love the bright colours on the cloaks. I think that your bases look perfect for North African or Sicilian scrub. I am bumping points a bit for the size and quality of your pots today.
Great work, love those shields.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and the basing does feel sympathetic to a N. African landscape.
