Wonderful work! I have a box sitting ready to go. A question on the shields. Victrix decals?What did you find was the best base colour for the shields to let the detail stand out?
cheers

As others have said, lovely work. The shields are very effective.

Great job on these Mike – good idea with the white undercoat.

Would be fine as Carthaginian allies as well.

Thanks for the comments gents. Dragonfan79 I undercoated the figures and shields white, you need a white undercoat for the Victrix transfers anyway and it saves painting on tunics. I used a wash of Army Painter soft tone to finish.

Nice very good paint work. I have to assembly mine.

Thanks Cyrus, I use a similar method, not as nicely done as yours however! Thanks for the tip on the shields. I've generally used a brass undercoat for shields but is does dull the transfers. White looks the business! Cheers

Thanks Colin, I've assembled a unit of Veterans, Libyan javelin men and have a unit of Liby-Phoenician spear men to do on my first box…
