Carthaginians
« on: May 12, 2017, 04:55:14 PM »
Few shots of my last finished project: Hannibal's carthaginians.
Based individually, but on movement trays suitable for Centuria; a very mixed army, I tried to acheive a "similar" look despite the various tribes using a limited palette. Decals and freehand.
Miniatures: metal only, near all possible manufacturer I like to mix and convert.

Wow! What a ferocious multinational army! The elephant is all the money! Well done!

And it's not all, I did this while still WIP... Ellie hides another secret: the howdah is magnetized, so you can play with or without it lol

 :o Oh that's clever!

I'll steal that idea — I am planning to build a howdah to mount some of my (very old ex-slotta-based) Goblins on a toy triceratops...  :D

One of my favorite armies (first historical force i ever did), and you have done an amazing job with them!  :-*  Makes me think I eventually need to get my back out and repaint them.
