The Romans are done

So I finally completed the last two units I needed for the Romans for Zama, namely two units of Roman trained Numidian infantry. These figures are from Forged in Battle and I really like them, may even pick up some more to expand the Numidians for the Jurguthine War.

I deliberately went for a mix of shield colours to keep them looking more irregular than their Roman counterparts. I even used the two left over figures for a level one commander. The other figures I managed to complete over the weekend were a couple of units of skimishers, Gauls and Libyans and a Gallic commander. These are all Essex miniatures for the skirmishers and 3d printed Cromarty forge figures for the commanders.

So when packing the figures away I decided to get them on the table, more for a gauge on the frontage they will cover, will help Mitch organise the table size we will require for Border Reiver. They squeezed into 5ft, so will probably want a table around 8ft as the Carthaginians will have a longer frontage and gives us a chance to add some scenic items on the periphery.

So with the Romans done I can look to finish off the Carthaginians as I have some Spanish allies to add and Libyan skirmishers. Then there are a couple of units of Italian heavy cavalry to complete that force. I can then look to get some figures painted up to finish the Epirote army I have. Be handy to get them done and plan some map based campaigns
