From KentG: 28mm Carthaginians (45pts)

Another week has passed, this past week has been incredibly busy 
one in which I didn't manage to do a lot of painting
The figures below are for a commission.
I was unable to find the manufacture, the customer said they were to be 
painted as Carthaginian light infantry. 

I had a box arrive this week and when i opened it was pleasantly surprised 
everything from 40mm Napoleonic's to 28mm Samurai. hoping undercoat 
some of these tonight to start painting


I decided after seeing some amazing hand painted shields 
that I should do a few shields myself.
I find painting shields really enjoyable, but you can spend a lot of time
on something so small.




Kind of wish these figures belonged to me as I really like the 
finish on them.



Other than Napoleonic's, Carthaginian armies are one of my
 favorite armies to paint, With all the elephants and different nations you can add in

            Points are super easy on these chaps 8 x 28mm foot = 40pts

From Millsy: I know a lot of people think Romans are cool but that's only because they don't know enough about Carthage and her loyal servants. Your reds are absolutely lovely Kent and work so well with the cream, white and black that sit alongside them. The fine detail you've managed to squeeze into the shields is remarkable and worth a few extra tetradrachm! Cracking work mate.
