Anyone seen my Pachyderm
Libyan Javelinmen
The last of the units I completed so far were the Libyan skirmishers that came in the Victrix Carthaginian pack.
These were straightforward to paint in undyed cloth and the flesh colour was the same as I used for the spearmen.
The tricky bit were the shields as for some reason I didn’t get the transfers (old age must be creeping in). For a couple I used some spare LBM transfers for the Numidian cavalry I have but had to cut these down. These were the giraffe and zebra shields (again I hate HD photos as the white showing on the edge of these shields doesn’t show that vividly on the actual figures and I am now going to have to revisit them to touch them up ??).
For the rest to get the animal hide effect it was out with the cut down brush and stipple the colours on to try and get a reasonable effect that I am happy with.
