Painted Liby-Phoenician 'Phalanx'
« on: June 12, 2015, 04:24:14 PM »
Hi All,
Here's some shots of our recently released 28mm metal Liby-Phoenicians, the core of Hannibal's (and most Carthaginian) armies of the Punic Wars. These chaps have been painted up by the very able Gary over at March Attack! Gary's done a particularly good job on the shields I think - designs taken from the Chemtou relief and Punic Stelae (with a little input from Osprey's 'The Carthaginians 6-2nd C. BC'
I'd welcome thoughts and feedback



Cheers
Greg

Had to spend a few minutes taking in the freehand shield designs completely. Gorgeous!

Wonderful work on those shields.
 :-* :-*




You really should take the pictures of them without that movement tray.
Those things rarely do nicely painted figures justice, they are just too thick.

Lovely, good to see some hand painted shields, decals are so easy but hand painted stands out, nice work.

Regards, Ken
