Punic Wars - Numidian Horsemen


The first unit of the year is finished, a unit of Numidian Horsemen for my Punic Wars project.


This was also my first entry into Curt's Analogue Painting Challenge.  I was getting really fed up of seeing my name with no points next to it, so I picked a unit I could get painted in a couple session to get something on the board.


10mm figures from Pendraken, they're a nice little sculpt, like most of their range.  However, if you're going to make two poses, how much extra effort is it to make a third sculpt?  Not sure if there are too many figures per base, but I want the two armies to have lots of boots on the ground - hopefully they still look like light cavalry considering how disordered they look.

    Nice looking unit Vladdd. Not sure how I missed them over on Curt's blog.

    The bases don't look too cramped, although the one with just 3 figures looks slightly better to my eye.

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    Tamsin, there were 15 figures in the pack and I decided to use them all. From a distance, the three figure base does look better.
