Numidian Slingers, Archers and Cavalry

 

Here are some Numidian slingers, archers and cavalry that I've just finished painting. The slingers and archers are Renegade Miniatures and the cavalry are Warlord Games. I only have infantry left to do for my Numidians, so will finish some units of these and hopefully get a game in soon.

Numidian Command and Cavalry Review

 

Warlord King Juba I figure

Crusader Numidian Prince

A&A Numidian cavalry command

Victrix Numidian cavalry command

I thought I do a review of the Numidian command stands and cavalry I have painted to date. Some of these figures had lost spears and shields while others required some touching up. I still have some Warlord Numidian cavalry to finish painting but have mainly infantry to do for my army now.

Numidian Command and Cavalry

 

Here are some Numidian cavalry and a command stand that I've just finished painting. These are all Victrix figures, some with LBM shield transfers. The horses are a bit over sized for slender Numidian ponies, Victrix seem to use the same three basic poses for all their cavalry sets. The recent release of the Osprey book, The Numidians 300 BC-300 AD, by William Horsted has got me thinking about my Numidian army again. There is a review of this book in a recent issue of Ancient Warfare magazine.

I have four command stands, quite a few cavalry units and two Victrix elephants painted, with two Crusader elephants nearly completed. I have made a start on some of the infantry, mainly Crusader and Renegade figures and this will be the bulk of the painting required. The plan is for an army of King Juba I (with his 'legions') but suitable for earlier armies as well.

Numidian Cavalry

 

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy (and safe) gaming, blogging and painting for 2021! 

Above are some 15mm Numidian cavalry by Corvus Belli, that I've just finished painting. PSC have just rereleased some of these figures in resin (Ultracast) as part of their Pacto Mortem et Gloriam Carthaginian army.

Below are some photos of White Cockatoos and a Corella enjoying a pre-Xmas feast from our apple tree.

Carthaginian Commanders and Cavalry

Here's another post from the archives, a Carthaginian command stand, Carthaginian cavalry and Numidian cavalry. The Carthaginian figures are by A&A Miniatures with LBM shield transfers and the Numidian cavalry figures are by Crusader Miniatures.
