The Foundry Numidians are excellent, from the Caesarian Roman range. Sadly the Companion range, which matched them perfectly haven’t been around for a long time.
Anyone doing Crusader Celts should get the A&A ones too (especially infantry) for more variation, but their horses are much smaller.
Great comparison pictures!It's shame that the scale issue happened between the Republic Roman infantry and cavalry. I only have the early Imperial Roman infantry, but how do they look compared to the early Imperial cavalry scale wise?I do hope that Victrix is aware about the problem and will avoid it with all their new sets. Especially with the huge range of Persians and the soon to be designed Norman cavalry.
This is Victrix EIR cavalry and infantry size comparison.
Pardon the non cavalry related question, how are you approaching the hoplites for Massilia. Are you adding any Kelto-Hellenic touches? You could give them La tene swords or chainmail I suppose from the Gallic set.
They certainly influenced the Gauls, coins, wine, pottery etc. Don't know much about them other than they were a maritime power consisting of a network of Greek cities along what is now the Mediterranean coast of France - Marseilles, Monaco, Nice, Antibes plus they had cities in what is now Spain as well as Corsica. It's unlikely they could have established colonies in Gaul if they hadn't had some kind of arrangement with the local tribes. There were probably Gauls in these cities but the city culture would have been Greek just like colonial towns in the 19th century maintained separate identities between the locals and the colonists which lasted generations as those colonies were in constant contact with a wider network of their own people. I suspect any Gallic influence would have been trade based like what the Romans adopted such as various types of wagons, the wooden barrel, various breeds of oxen and horse used for hauling.
