Really damn good.

Your painting is an inspiration.

This project is really inspiring! Lovely work.

Thanks for the feedback!

Finished the general's command base, representing Hannibal and his entourage at Zama. The models are all victrix plastics kit-bashed. For Hannibal added an eye-patch out of green stuff.

From left to right, facing front:
1 - a Numidian, faithful servant of Hannibal (inspired by Khalid, servant of Gordon, from the movie Khartoum)
2 - a Magna Greek/Sicilian Greek exile
3 - a Carthaginian noble, standard bearer/representative of the Carthaginian senate (don't know if white lions existed in Africa - I went for aesthetics here)
4 - Hannibal himself
5 - a Garamantian, attached with the staff
6 - a Mauri, risen through the ranks
7 - a Libyan veteran, wearing italian armour similar to the ksour es sef cuirass

Maybe I'll write some background for them...........

Stunning! Exceptional work! Cheers!

Great work ! Any higher resolution photos somewhere ?

I'm also curious to know which colors you used on Hannibal skin.

[aphillathehun]

That's a great stand!

[Duke Donald]

The command base is beautiful, the other units too, incidentally. This will be a stunning army.

They're all evidently spending an amazing amount of time tanning themselves at the beach.

[Vanvlak]

A small unit of Mauri archers, part of the first line (or the skirmishing line in front of it) at Zama. Used victrix greek archers with numidian heads. The skin tone is a bit different from what I used for the numidians. For clothing went for a pale yellow. Don't know if they wore that colour but contrasts nicely with the dark skin.
