Carthaginian Archers

Glenn's Carthaginian army gets two units of archers, each of seven figures. The men in drab tunics are Spanish or Numidian archers. The Cretan archers get their distinctive red tunics and shields. All figures are from Relic Miniatures.





The Cretan shields got a mix of three designs: the labyrinth (which I took from an ancient coin; it looks like a swastika), a chamois, and a snake.

Nice detail on the Cretan shields.

Nice painting, and the Relic guys look good too. Best, Dean

These are great. The tunics are spot on. The simplicity of these units will work well as an offset to the more elaborate units when the armies are deployed in the field.
Nice work Scott!

I like the Relic figures. Well sculpted and good poses. I purchased several Relic figures for this project:
Numidian horsemen
Carthaginian Heavy Spearmen
Elephants
and Gallic Infantry
Archers and Slingers

they look great and will really add flavor to the army great job, and don't worry as the Kids grow up you will get the time back where you can spend time painting again.
