The figures are a mix of Old Glory and Magister Militum/Chariot, with four Essex cavalry in there to make up numbers.
This army will rarely fight on its own; it will most frequently be broken into constituent parts as allies for Rome and Carthage.
Depending on which set of rules I'm using, there are three to five units of medium cavalry, or 15 bases altogether.
There are 8 bases of light cavalry, so there are two to three units there, as well.
There are nine units of caetrati light infantry, or 36 bases.
Of Iberian scutari there are 28 bases in seven units.
I do like my Iberians and hope that they will perform creditably!
Phwoar; cast of thousands! :-)

Great lines of excellent looking figures!
ReplyDeletePhil.
They look great en masse - can't have too many Iberians!
ReplyDeleteI am completely impressed. Fantastic army!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, all. I do find that quantity tends to distract viewers from the shortcomings in my painting technique, so quantity it must be!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Impressive army - good luck with them in your games!
ReplyDeleteLooks a great collection there!
ReplyDeleteMighty impressive
Thanks, gents. Hopefully they'll get a chance to go belly-up on the table sometime soon!
ReplyDelete72 bases of Scutarii? I love 'em! This is wonderful, all ranked up and sprawling, ready to unleash hell on the Romans.
ReplyDeleteDo you still play FoG? In V2, the Iberians have a fighting chance. If not FoG, I'd be curious what other ancients rules you use.
Hi Monty, I took inspiration from the shields of your Iberians for this lot. A poor imitation of yours these are, but they seem to look OK in clumps!
ReplyDeleteAs far as rules go, I mainly play Lost Battles. It's a good grand-tactical set and it works really well solo, which is a prime consideration for me given that my nearest wargame buddy is 2 hours away by train. Didn't take to FoG really, and the other sets I've tried aren't quite so flash solo, with CCA being the exception. If I got more face-to-face games in I'd be keener to experiment more.
Like everyone though, I do have my own rules that I tinker around with occasionally!
Cheers,
Aaron
great stuff as alway, TLA
