Celtiberian General, Horse and Foot


The two-pack of Spanish (Celtiberian) generals from Crusader was the other big attraction of the Crusader purchase. 


If finding a variety of Roman Generals can be challenging, finding Carthaginian officers other than Hannibal is even more so. 


These fine fellows could command Spanish foot and horse contingents within a Punic army, or an all Spanish Army. 


I gave them black cloaks like the Scutari are said to have worn.


They are very welcome additions to the command strata!

    1. Thanks; this is my first experience4 using them after picking up this lot at a Sale art Historicon 2018. I'd certainly buy them again!

    1. Thanks, Iain. I have enough Spanish to make a modest good sized force of their own; they'/d be interesting opponents for the Romans, too. After all, Scipio more or less cut his teeth in Spain. I might have to use some Gallic troops as stand ins, but that wouldn't be unreasonable. Hmm!

  4. Nice work Peter, and I hadn't heard about the black cloaks for the scutarii before.

    1. I'm pretty sure that goes all the way back to Barker, Lawrence.

    1. Thanks; thinking that with "a few more" figures I could make an actual Iberian Army is being dangerous to the budget adherence prospects!
