Iberian Cavalry









Here are some armoured Ancient Spanish cavalry from the Victrix Miniatures plastic set Iberian Cavalry. They are great figures to paint, really detailed and easy to put together. The shield transfers are by Victrix as well. I tried to finish these for our recent Command and Colors Ancients game of the Battle of Ilipa but didn't quite get there in time.

    1. Thanks Iain, Victrix make some great figures.They don't seem to have done any Napoleonics for a while, there is always the Perry and Warlord plastic cavalry which are excellent.

  5. I plan to paint these as Italian (non-Roman) cavalry. The pectoral armor matches the popular style during the Punic Wars era, and I can switch heads with other Victrix kits.
