Carthaginian Cavalry Commander

[Jonathan J]

I have completed the commander for the upcoming Carthaginian heavy cavalry unit – photos have been posted to the blog, I invite you to stop by and have a look around:

The Inevitable Spark

The shield is hand painted with the design taken from the symbology of the goddess Tanit, which was the god held to be most important to Carthage, and is a crescent moon above the sun. Tanit also required sacrifice of human victims, but perhaps not as many as Baal Hammon. Her full title Pene Baal meant "(Tanit) Face of Baal," and she had precedence over Baal Hammon.

The full unit will be dedicated to the goddess Tanit and will carry these shields in her honor.

Model is from Gripping Beast.

Yep, that is an excellent pose!

And a very nice paint job as well.
