The first stands for these versatile troops are two bases of Caetrati which will be used in both Carthaginian and Caesarean Roman armies for both ADLG and DBA. The figures are from Gripping Beast's Punic Wars range and have gathered dust for far too long in the lead mountain.
Painted using block, shade wash and then highlighting with the base tone which is quicker than layering with three tones although not as effective. When using the Rule of Three Feet they look very good and mean that two armies will be useable for gaming much sooner than thought.
To follow these will be more infantry and then on to both light and medium cavalry.
Probably should swap the shields on the front base over so the colours are in a different order than that of the second base, however that is a task for another day.
In terms of points these are worth:
4 x 28mm infantry - 20 points
The running total so far is now:
128 points out of 500 or 25.6%, still a way to go to the finish line.
Hope you found this interesting
Stay safe and cheers!
Lovely looking Spanish troops! Very useful and the finish looks great to me!
