These are a rather less than half of the seemingly innumerable Numidian cavalry required for our Zama game. link Cheers, Simon |

Looking really good, Simon. Paul |

Very nice articles. Thanks for posting them. |

As someone about to paint some Numidian cavalry, I have to say your timing is excellent! And so's the painting, but we knew that. |

Hi Streetline, thanks! 15s? Simon |

20s, plastic, BBDBA, an experiment in The Wash. |
| BigRedBat | 05 Nov 2009 10:01 a.m. PST |
A new scale; that way, madness lies! Mine are going to be dipped. Simon |
| streetline | 05 Nov 2009 10:07 a.m. PST |
Dip, Wash… same thing. Ish. I've always liked the 20mm plastics for the period, just not liked painting them. But a Catharginian BBDBA army is a nice confined project – and cheap, easy to store – that should be OK. It's not like I'll be tempted to expand every cultural group in the army into it's own DBA army. Oh. I see what you mean… |

If you had Carthos, Romans and Macedonians you'd be able to do a nice little campaign. Did you ever try Command and Colors? They could be used with that, too. Simon |

Is that what these Numidians are being based for, Simon? C&C:A? Love the blog. Great work. |
| BigRedBat | 05 Nov 2009 2:46 p.m. PST |
Hi JCBJCB, thanks re the Blog. Yes I mostly use them with C&C:A, which is my favourite set at the moment, but have tried them with Impetus and will hopefully be able to use them with other systems in the future. Cheers, Simon |

Good idea about depicting javelin skirmishers – I suppose you could get much the same effect with 'standard' 60mm bases if you positioned the figures accordingly. Nice mix of animated figures. |

Those look terrific; I love the "whirling mass" effect. (You do know we only have the one day to fight Zama don't you?  ) |
| BigRedBat | 05 Nov 2009 4:11 p.m. PST |
Thanks chaps. Adster, I'm hoping we'll play the game not once, at Bletchley, but twice! Mind you, if I end up commanding, we'll play it just once and not finish. I can be glacially slow, on occasion. Infamous for it. ;-) Simon |

Simon, the project is looking really good! Cheers Mike P.S. Mary and me might be coming to the UK. in 2011 maybe we could get together at a local pub! |
| BigRedBat | 13 Nov 2009 7:42 a.m. PST |
Hi Mike, that would be nice! There's a nice pub just on the corner. Cheers, Simon |
