Carthage Reloaded - Full Pack Release

[Legio]

To be completely honest, both look great.

[Hannibal Smith]

Thanks but I really wasnt happy with the pylos helmet on the old model it didnt look right at the back and so I had to add hair to the model but it still didnt look good. So I knocked up a new one on the lathe and it reaches further down a the back so no need for the hair piece.

[Conqistador]

[Hannibal Smith]

Ive been working on one of the final units in my project the Generals bodyguard cavalry, (I wanted them to look like companion cav) Ive not produced a proper render yet but did take a screen shot I'm pretty pleased with the shield


I'm thinking of making an armoured horse for the upgrade unit.

[Lü Bu]

Wow,this look pretty good

[Legio]

It looks superb!

[MpLord]

[dragonsign]

wonderfull

[jakobh94]

fantastic!

[MpLord]

i would prefer more neutral colours thuogh

[Conqistador]

good cav Hannibal, but IMHO the shield must have more "deformations", try adding noise to it

[Emperor Domitianus]

The models are getting better and better.

[Killerbee]

Hey Hannibal , how bout making some custom models in Alexander TW , and give a cstuom portrait and general unit to Hannibal ?

[Hannibal Smith]

Ive edited my first post to show the render of the companion cavalry. Ive changed the colours made the skin a bit darker in places hope its better, the screen shot shows them charging hastati (romans by ferres, as if you didnt know)

[Conqistador]

this is fantastic, Hannibal!

[Hannibal Smith]

@ KingTheoden1

Will get around to making generals at some point, hadnt though about making custom general maybe I will make a Hannibal, although I think BA might be better on the battle field (Gotta pity the Roman fools!)

[Lü Bu]

Very good!

From what I have read, because it has puzzled me too, is that the Carthaginians did not use the Macadon phalanx, but more of the older Greek phalanx. As a result, the Poeni shileds would be the larger round types versus the smaller type that you portray.

As for the Roman shield for the later Poeni Infantry, it would definately differentiate the two infantry's, but as one book put it, using a round shield in combat versus the Roman shield better indentified you from friend or fore in the heat of combat. As a result, the author "speculated" (since there are no good records of Poeni uniforms) that the Carthaginians probably kept their large round shield for better indentification in battle.

As for looking like the Casus Belli infantry, I know you have made all these models yourself, but Mordred (the lead & modeler in Casus Belli) used the same concept as you did for the smaller Poeni shields.
