From ScottS: 15mm Numidian Light Horsemen (60 points)

Scott from Aberdeen finally has heat in his house and so sends in his first volley of figures to celebrate.

From Scott:

This weekend was my first opportunity to get some painting in this year, so I chose to something I could start and finish in a couple days. 

Four bases of Numidian Horsemen for my putative Punic Wars project. 10mm figures by Pendraken, nice enough, although I would have preferred a third pose. 

In hindsight, I'm wondering if there are too many figures per base, but hopefully they're disorganized enough to look like light cavalry.

Great work Scott. Personally, I like the look of the four figures per base. I think you're right in that their formation should give indication to their battlefield role. 

These 15 horsemen will give Scott 60 points for his entry on the Points Roster. Welcome aboard Scott!

From IanW: 20mm Numidian Light Cavalry (268 points)

Here is an impressive bit of work from Ian's desk: 33 Numidian light cavalry in 20mm.

From Ian:

My second submission is more of the Numidians. This finishes off the light cavalry with 11 units. This gives me about 16 or so in total now. When I get the Roman cavalry done that will complete the army.  

These are again HaT and I believe recently were discontinued. Just one of the 33 figures is not HaT, can anyone spot the lone Zvezda? This was left over from a box I had already used and allowed me to complete the 11th base. 

I had the usual fun with the goat skin shields which paint up fairly fast as really does the whole figures. I really will be happy to get onto painting metal figures after so much plastic. I really still need to add tufts but I don't have enough right now and need to order some more. This will still be done during the challenge time but the few I have left are for the 28mm WWII, though I need bases for them.

Next up is finishing the 6mm cavalry that I painted the horses for whilst painting the Numidians.

Well done Ian! Those goat-skin shields look excellent.

These lads will give Ian an impressive 268 points, rocketing him to the top of the points standings. Awesome job!

From IanW: 20mm Numidian Elephants & Riders (44 points)

Ian cracks off his first entry with these three elephants and riders for his Numidian army.

Take it away Ian:

These are HaT 20mm Elephants for my Numidian army. The three escorting infantry were painted pre-start by about 4-6 months so I am guessing don't count, LOL. The Elephants are the only really strong part of what is almost totally light infantry and cavalry army so will be interesting to play. Barry wanted to have separate command units even though they are based for Impetus and I agreed so one of the spare Elephants makes a cool command base. 

These three elephants with their riders will give Ian 44 points. Good to have you on the roster again, Ian!
