15mm Numidians and Italians

With agreeing to help Mitch out with the Zama game for Border Reiver next year, I needed 6 units of Numidian light cavalry as part of the Roman contingent. These are all from Peter Pig, lovely models and I much prefer them to the 3d printed ones I have for the Carthaginians.

I've also received a nice bundle of figures which should provide about 90% of the additional figures I need for the Romans. A starter box from Forged in Battle for the Republican Romans, Some Oscan heavy cavalry for my 'Italiotes', Numidian and Gallic skirmishers. I'm awaiting another order which will cover the rest of the Numidians that I will need.

I also completed a second unit of Carthaginian cavalry. These are also from Forged in Battle and are the last of the cavalry from the starter set I had. Just 1 unit of spearmen and some Libyan skirmishers and they are all done.

The other unit I completed was the last of my Italiote heavy infantry. These are all from Essex miniatures with the exception of the command figures which are from Old Glory. I also took the opportunity to get the Italiotes out for a photo. I just need to get the 2 units of Oscan heavy cavalry done and the contingent will be finished.

With these done it has me thinking about a Punic War campaign where these, Mitch's Iberian and the Gauls can be used as allies and enemies for both sides. I've even got some Hellenistic Greeks to finish that can be used for Epirus. Something to ponder.
