The Entire Carthaginian Army

The second unit of the Spanish Scutarii have finally been added to the mighty Carthaginian army under the watchful eye of Hannibal and his most decorated officers. These warriors have been placed in the army's center with each wing held by Hannibal's must trusted veterans. The army gathered in the early morning mists shortly after breakfast in the hopes of inviting the Romans, that had camped not far off, to battle on the ground of their own choosing. The lazy Romans were not roused, despite creative taunts, and so the Carthaginians went back to bed.

After finishing up the basing of the Scutarii yesterday, I thought I would take a look at the state of the army.

• Two standard units of Liby-Phoenician veterans
• Two standard units of Spanish Scutarii
• Two small units of Ligurian slingers
• One standard unit of Liby-Phoenician cavalry
• One elephant and crew
• Three command stands including Hannibal and Mago Barca

That is 100 figures, 11 horses and 1 elephant painted and based for this project since August 17, 2012. That is six months work. Not bad.

These guys are going to battle against Aaron's Romans tomorrow. Wish them luck, and may the blessing hand of Tanit protect them and the arm of Ba'al Hammon smite the enemy.
