Anyone seen my Pachyderm
Skirmisher supports
The other units I completed were the Balearic Slingers and the Cretan Archers. Both these units can be used for either the Carthaginians or the Romans so its a 2 for 1 deal.
I based one unit of each on sabot bases and the other as a multi base so I still have some for the skirmish games.
For the Balearic Slingers I followed the description in on of the old WRG Macedonian and Punic Wars books which was based on a roman source that described them dressed as in the “Spanish” fashion. This was white tunics edged with purple or deep red. The figures were Victrix.
Balearic Slingers
The Cretans are Gripping Beast figure so one piece and metal and no construction required ?.
Again these were painted in muted tones to represent “undyed” cloth.
Cretan Archers
I think you might get some props from Lloyd if you featured these Balearics outdoors as well for the Spring Clean Challenge.
Are but that would mean going outside and have you seen the weather in NW England at the moment ?️??
