28mm Ancient Libyan Heavy Spearmen

I posted these guys before they were done because I wanted feedback on the shields. I decided to paint designs on half to two thirds of the shields and highlight the others. The first rank can always have designs. There isn't much on shield designs for these boys so these are from the ether. Actually, what is written has them with all white shields. That is what I'm doing for some in 10mm. Anyway, I think these look nice.

28mm Ancient Cartheginian Libyan Heavy Spearmen

These 28mm Ancient Cartheginian Libyan Heavy Spearmen are from Old Glory USA. They are a work in progress. I had them sitting around for weeks with just the shield designs and highlights to finish. Today I hand painted some sample shield designs; palm trees, lightning, stars, holy symbols, etc. I will have to think about how many I paint per unit.

There are three units. For no very good reason I did two colours of shields per unit so I could see what was what on the battlefield. I actually do them all white in 10mm. If my two tone units get irritating the shields can easily be popped off and moved around.

I like the tartans I have done (just one cloak per unit). I did a load of those on some Old Glory Romano British I mistook for Picts. Doh! I will have to say those are Celts now. Oh well..
