You don't see one for years, and then three or four come along in a row, like buses! ;-)

How many are there? – it looks like about 50 cavalry, 4 elephants and 300 infantry.

A huge army, well painted and based – fantastic job.

How long did it take? a year or more?

Regards
Mick

Great job on the army. I'd love to see it in daylight.

Hi Mick, I don't know; I'll ask Gordon how long it took, and post it here.

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Fredd, My own Numids are relatively recent, and have never served as Gloranthan proxies, unlike my Spartans, Greeks, Assyrians and Huns.

Must play another Gloranthan game…

Cheers, Simon

Simon, nice looking! I am also working on my Numidians also a Crusader, Foundry and sadly Companion (sadly because you cannot get them) I am using Companion`s Im Legionaries (they have Numidian heads) as my heavy inf! Cheers Mike

Very nice looking army – loved the desert basing. I did toss up using the Crusader Numidian imitation legionaries for Pontics, they do look the part.

Mi Mike!

Garry for Pontics, I'd fancy mixing some of the Polemarch ILs with Foundry Caesarians, to give a little taste of the East.

Cheers, Simon

Thanks for the advice.

To be even more 'exotic' I used some Crusader Carthaginian veterans with pila, added in some 'real' Roman exiles as well as one drunk Celt (BTD). I was tempted to use some armoured Celts as well for another unit.

I do like the Polemarch figures and will have one unit of the Beasties as well as a mixed one with some Essex Seleucid Argyaspides.

Cheers

Garry
