Carthaginian Citizen Spearmen











Here are some Carthaginian Citizen spearmen from the archives. These are all Victrix figures and shield transfers, and are later spearmen with thureoi (oval shields). I have another unit of these to paint that already based and undercoated with transfers. They are pretty quick and easy to do with simple tunics, not as time consuming and fiddly as the Persians!

    1. Thanks Kevin, the shields may well have been just plain white but the transfers do look good.
