And another, depicting the great man crossing the Apls (the others look less-ravaged, but unfortunately I didn't have any other Alp-crossing figures):
The set also comes with a Mago figure, one of Hannibal's brothers who fought alongside him throughout the Second Punic War and appears to have met his end at sea:
And Hasdrubal, Hannibal's other brother who died at the battle of the Metauro river while trying to lead reinforcements for Hannibal through Italy:
And a figure of Maharbal, a Numidian cavalry commander who was one of Hannibal's closest friends and confidants:
I also purchased a 28mm Xyston Hannibal just for good measure:
Also completed are two Carthaginian bolt-shooters:
I am just putting the reigns on a few Carthaginian chariots and hope to have some pictures of these up before the end of the week, whereupon the project will be completed.
Great job, I do like your bolt-shooters, splendid painting and basing...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I was pleased with the way they came together.
DeleteOutstanding command stands! It must be quite rewarding to find yourself near the end of your Carthaginian project. What will be next?
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan. It is a great feeling, and always nice to get stuck into a new project. I have a bunch of Numidians prepared and ready to go, after completing some Museum Miniature wagons I have had lying around for eight years.
Deleteyes indeed,lovely painting and flocking of base(s)
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. My favourite part is when I get to apply the static grass, as it always seems to represent the attainment of a mini milestone.
DeleteLovely command stand's to complete a splendid army, will we see them all together soon?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. Yes, I'm rather partial to a group shot and will get them all together once I have completed the last of the chariots.
