Early wips of Ancient Spanish

[Techno]

Guys....
This is as much to see if a complete and utter dork (ME) can follow simple instructions in regard to sizing the pictures 'properly'.. as it is to show how the Ancient Spanish are progressing.
I feel quite smug Not in regard to the models.... But I HAVE actually been able to follow my mentors !! (Thanks LOTS Meirion and everyone else !!....Took two goes, 'cos I was missing out a space !)

BUT 'I DUN IT !'.....




Please feel free to comment on the above, although as you'll be able to see, there's a fair old bit left to do ! (Arms, shields, spears/javelins etc etc.)
Top row are intended as the command group...Standard bearer...General...Musician.
Bottom row are two Lusitanian  infantry.
I've not shown the two each of the  Caetratus(i) or Scutarii yet....
Unless I'm completely mistaken these types of 'troops' appear almost identical apart from the size and shapes of the shields ??
Hands up... all those with computer eyesight as bad as mine who read Caetratus as something else....Think of a male singer with a VERY high voice !

Cheers - Phil.

How cute with their little boots.

Very nice indeed Phil, excellent work as usual.

I especially like the way you've snuck in a chaos warrior with tentacle arms

What do you mean it's not

Seriously you are going to cost me a forte when I get back to my Arthurian/ancients campaign.

Cheers,

Excellent work as ever Techno.

I've got ask though; given the huge gaps in Pendraken's Ancients ranges, why do a minor power like Spain?

The work on the Ancients ranges is currently mainly replacing and then a bit of addition where we can.  With the Republicans and the Cathaginians done, the next logical step was to get the Spanish sorted out, maybe adding a few things as we go.  Then we'll be heading north as we revamp the Gallic and Imperial Romans next.  I've not planned any further than that, but we'll probably need to head backwards then, and hit the Greeks and Persians.

Awesome work! I noticed that you follow the Angus mcBride paints in some of them, that´s awesome

Take a look at Europa Barbarorum Iberian units guide if you need more ideas.

Is the idea to made Iberians, Celtiberians and Lusitanians?

Yep, although I may not have told Phil that yet... 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I've already talked him through some of them...
