Very nice indeed.

Nice show!

The best painted minis representing Hannibal's veterans I have ever seen! Congrats!

[Corso]

Thank you for your comments gents

Cavalry on the workbench......

Looking great.  Do you have a Hannibal figure lined up? I am struggling to find one that I like

I'm thinking of coverting one out of Victrix plastics

I only know the Relic Miniatures Hannibal:

Elephant vignette
I will be at Trumpeter's in Vancouver in a couple of weeks; if Relic is there I could grab you one.

Imposing in both! 
Nice sculpts!

You don't do things by half, do you? At least one big unit per month is quite a tally. Keep it up!
Adding some WIP pics would be nice, so we know what comes next? I like such previews.

As an aside, it's actually the 2200th anniversary of the war between Eumenes II of Pontos and Pharnakes I of Pergamon in 182 BC. Sorry.

Superb work 

Might I ask (and sorry if I missed it) why the LBM transfer had to go on before painting began?

[Corso]

Codsticker - very kind of you. 

MDMorris - good idea about wip pictures, I tend to forget to do so.

Oshiro - I find it best to do the transfers on the elephants before painting the rest of the mini because when I do so the parts with transfers would still be in the sprue and I can manage better. I do the same with the shields. As a base for the decals I give the area three light coats of ceramite white from gw.

Absolutely inspiring! 

That elephant is amazing, and I’ve got loads of horsemen coming up, so I appreciate that you’ve set the bar so high 

Always nice to see a fellow refugee of the Warlord forum

Same here. Made many friendships there.

WIP on heavy cavalry, using Victrix greek heavies and converting them. Whilst assembling them on single bases you must be careful about the second rank not to bump into the first rank due to the tail. I've used ceramite white as undercoat instead of spray because I am 'recycling' some horses from another unit and had done them with that undercoat and was afraid colours might show different if I used Corax white.

Finished a small unit of Carthaginian citizen cavalry. No mention of them having fought outside Africa. Was inspired by Giuseppe Rava's artwork 'La rotta degli elefanti' - The rout of the elephants, at Zama

Beautiful paintjob and the shields are outstanding! Very well done! Congrats!
