28mm Punic Wars advice

Victrix matches Aventine perfectly.
V&V resin figures are also a very good match. They don't have much yet besides a Carthaginian Command group, some mail armoured Carthaginians and a group of Iberians and a few Republican Romans but the quality is superb.

Ok, so I told a friend of mine about this and managed to inherit a significant amount of unpainted lead from an abandoned Carthaginian project. So, I guess I’m committed now…

The figures I received are primarily the Newline Designs Carthaginians, Iberians and Numidians, probably enough for a decent sized WAB army. I’m still sorting and identifying the figures to figure out exactly where I am and to try to come up with a plan.

My questions to the brain trust are:

1 - what other manufacturers go well with Newline, in either the same unit or different units in the same army? Foundry? Gripping Beast? Crusader?

2- would Victrix/Agema for the Romans be out of place for opponents or should I look at Grioping Beast, Foundry or Crusader?

Any other advice?

Thanks!
