15mm Numidian Light Horse and Generals, and Roman Bath House

With the recent finalisation of my Carthaginian army I wanted to return to complete my remaining Numidian cavalry, having painted twelve elements in October. That left me with another twenty-two elements and three generals, or twenty-five elements in total:


















The figures are again Xyston, with the usual mix of four rider poses among the light horses and another four poses in the general packs:


















As with the earlier batch, I have tried to keep the tunic colours fairly tame, and kept to a few basic shield designs:






















































Apart from the generals where I incorporated a bit of colour:








































That's thirty-seven elements now completed, with some Numidian skirmishers next in the queue:


















I also managed to complete another Roman building in the form of a 15mm Forged in Battle Roman bath-house:




































This is a solid resin building so no interior, but it is nicely proportioned:




































I have one Roman villa left to complete, my intention being to then combine them all into two large terrain pieces for use in DBMM.

    1. Thanks Jonathan. That's the main party of this small army complete, and I'm hoping to have the remainder done by the end of January.

    1. Thanks Ray. The Numidians were quite simple and the horses had very little in the way of horse furniture, so they were very quick to get done.

  4. Very fine work on these rather mundanely attired figures... which makes them all the more impressive, Lawrence!

    1. Cheers Peter. Mundane is definitely the word for them, and this will be the drabbest army I have attempted to date.

    1. Thanks Iain. I'm just finishing up a Roman villa with a garden at the moment, and hope to have that completed by the end of the week.
