The Best 28 mm Numidian Cavalry ? ... & Infantry

[VonAkers]

Hi Guys
I am building a new Carthaginian Army & Just wanted your thoughts .
This is an army "In the Grand Manner "..(  so not 6 figures probably 60 )
Which manufacturer does the best 28mm Numidian Cavalry? , and Infantry?

Let me know your thoughts .
Cheers

Do you want metal or plastic?

[Hu Rhu]

I'd go with Victrix if you don't mind plastic.  Excellent range and wonderful sculpts.

Guys
Dont care if it is metal or Plastic.
Cheers

I’ve used the Foundry range:

And Crusader:

without any problems. I’m told they are a size match for Victrix.

Hi

Might depend what you mean by the best?. I’ve got the Victrix Numidians and they are really nice figures, however in a recent Article in Ancient Warfare, Duncan Head revisited his view on how Numidian cavalry looked during the Punic wars rather than the iconic image based on Trajan’s column. So far as I’m aware the only manufacturer to make figures based on the revised imagery is Agema in metal.

Thanks Guys
From what I have read , perhaps the Relic Numidians are probabley the most historical.
I am not sure about the Victrix Cavalry ..I am edging towards the Foundry ones at this stage .
Thanks for your help.

Just wondering if you got the Relic Numidian Cav and if so what you think ?
I like Relic but find them very small.

I used most of the metal ranges, my personal preference is for Foundry.

[sgzleada71]

Wow.  You weren't mucking about.   Massive  army !     Great job.   

[AdamPHayes]

I prefer the Foundry Numidians but those Agema versions look great too.

The Agema figures are the best. Well worth getting a pack.

...I should say the Agema figures only came out after I'd already built my Numidian army- I'd certainly look at them if I was doing it again- although I suspect they might be smaller than the Foundry minis.

If you check my post on building a Numidian army, you’ll see I’ve gone all Victrix.
These are superb, cheap, and very flexible when it comes to options for heads etc.

However, years ago I also built a Numidian army using Crusader miniatures and Foundry.
But these days metal is a bit pricey.

It’s personal preference matey.
But have a search for my post and take a gander at the pictures.

There used to be Companion Miniatures knock-offs of the Foundry range. They were scruffier than their Foundry equivalents, wearing goatskins and some are bearded. I have a handful of them in my army, picked up on fleabay, really nice.
