Carthaginian Sacred Band
« on: November 08, 2023, 09:53:21 PM »
Hi here’s the Carthaginian Sacred Band for my Early Carthaginian army, with a mix of figures and armour too - iron and bronze corslets with linen pteruges, linothorax and bronze scale.



More pics if interested:

Nicely painted, good job!
If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

Thanks gents. I have a couple of chariots and some Libyan spearmen to paint and then they’re finished.

Where are the chariots from? 

Are these intended for action in a Sicily campaign?

Very nice.

I’ve been thinking about Carthaginian chariots too!
Agema used to produce them.

Newline?

Yes the chariots I have are Newline and Agema, see pics below. Xyston do very nice ones in 15mm. The Carthaginian Sacred Band only really fought in Sicily and Africa. We played an Epic CCA game of the Battle of Crimissos recently which was fun:
